Syllables
A syllable is a group of one or more sounds. The essential part of a syllable is a vowel sound ( V ). It can have consonant sounds ( C ) before the V, after the V or before and after the V.
Eg: - Eye: V
- Owe: V
- Go: CV
- If : VC
- Ten: CVC
Syllables
Letters are not the same as sounds.
Eg: Consonant letters: W, Y are not consonant sounds if they come after the vowel sound in the syllable: Saw, say, how, low, pay, why…
Here we use the word “ syllable” to talk about the pronunciation of words, not the writing.
Eg: Chocolate.

Stress in two syllable words.
Words come from a one-syllable word: Stress on the syllable of the original word.
Eg: - Artist, driver, friendly..
- Remove, dislike, rebuild…..
Two syllable nouns and Adjectives
Most two - syllable nouns and adjectives have stress on the first syllable, even if they do not come from an original one-syllable word.
Eg: The artist’s most famous picture show some women and children in a lovely forest with a purple mountain behind.
Two - syllable verbs
Most two-syllable verbs have stress on the second syllable, even if they do not come from an original one - syllable word.
Eg: forget
decide
import
complaint
produce.
Two - syllable verbs
Note:
There is not always a change of stress in words that are nouns and verbs.
Eg: Answer, picture, promise, reply, travel, visit: Stress on the same syllable.
The stress stays in the same place when you make longer words from these two - syllable nouns, adjectives and verbs.
Eg: happy – unhappy, depart - departure.
