PRONUNCIATION
Stress on auxiliary verbs in sentences
Remember!
Short words like articles (a, an, the), conjunctions (and, or), and prepositions (at, of, to) are usually unstressed or in the weak form. However, we use these short words in the strong form in the following cases:
When the short words are used at the end of sentences.
Example: What are you playing at?
Mary is the person I’m looking for.
When the short words are used for emphasis or contrast.
Example: This is the place to eat.
It’s not a solution, but the solution
When the short words are used for citation.
Example: You should put ‘and’ at the end of the sentence.
5. Read the mini-talks and underline the short words (for, the, from, and, but, at, of, to) you think use the strong form. Then listen and check.
Example:
A: Who are you looking for?
B: Peter is the person I`m looking for.

1. A: Where are you from?
B: I`m from Ha Noi.
2. A: Can you come and check this paragraph for me?
B: It`s OK but you shouldn`t use `and` at the beginning
of the paragraph.
3. A: Did you ask her to join our group?
B: I`ve asked her several times but she doesn`t want to.
4. A: Is this letter from Peter?
B: No, the letter is to him, not from him.
