PRONUNCIATION
STRESS AND INTONATION PRACTICE
Remember that stress is the force or loudness with which a part of a word is pronounced. Many words
of two syllables come from one-syllable words. For example, the word ‘singer’ comes from the word
‘sing’ and the word ‘enlarge’ comes from the word ‘large’. In these two-syllable words, the stress is on
the syllable of the original word. In the examples below, O and/or capital letters can be used to show
the stressed syllable and o the unstressed syllable.
Here are some more examples:
Nouns and adjectives (Oo) Verbs (oO)
Boy – BOYhood
Own – disOWN
Star – STARdom
Take – reTAKE
friend – FRIENDship
miss – dismiss
Most two-syllable nouns and adjectives have stress on the first syllable, even if they are not formed
from an original one-syllable word. For example, ‘pastor’ is not formed from the original word ‘past’,
but it still has the stress pattern Oo.


EVALUATION: Pupils are evaluated thus:
1. State four features each of a formal letter and an informal letter
2. What are pronouns? Mention four types with examples.
3. Write a letter to your headmaster requesting for a new school uniform.
