WORD STRESS

Stress is an extra force used when pronouncing a particular word or syllable.


1.When a word has two syllables,the first syllable is stressed

eg: Tea-cher => TEAcher

Mar-ket => MARket.

2. However,when the first syllable is a prefix,then the stress would be on the second syllable. Prefix is a letter or group of letters added to the begining of a word to change its meaning.
Prefix(s) like -'un', -'pre', -'re', -'ex', -'be', -'con'...

Eg: unhappy => unHAPPY

preheat => preHEAT

extend => exTEND.

3. Shifting stress occurs in words that can function both as a noun and as a verb or adjective. For a noun,the stress lies in the first syllable and vice-versa for adjective and verbs.

Eg: NOUN

import => IMport
record => REcord

For Adjectives and Verbs, the second syllable is stressed.

Eg: import => imPORT
record => reCORD.

Culled from 2002 Use of English (paper type C)

Question 58: In each of the questions 58 and 59, identify the word that has the stress on the first syllable.

A. export(noun)
B. commute
C. intend
D. import(verb)

Answer is A. export => EXport.
Re: Nairaland Jamb Tutorial Centre {english Language Thread} by Nobody: 8:38am On Nov 28, 2014
STRESS ON POLYSYLLABIC WORDS

1. When words ends in -ic, -ion, -ing, -ous, -ial, or -ian, the stress falls on the second syllable counting from the end.
Eg: understanding => under-STAN-ing

dictatorial => dic-ta-T0-rial

dramatic => dra-MA-tic

enormous => e-NOR-mous
Notice the letters in capital? Thats the stress(counting from the end)

2. Words ending in -ity, -ate, -al, -ve are stressed in the 3rd syllable counting from the end.
Eg: fortunate => F0R-tu-nate

opportunity => op-por-TU-ni-ty

normative => NOR-ma-tive


3.For words ending with -noon, -tain, -bey, -come, -pose, -sine, stress the LAST syllable.
Eg: afternoon => after-NOON

understand => under-STAND

obey => o-BEY

entertain => enter-TAIN.

Please dear jambites, start reading now before its too late. Go through the past questions again and again. I recall when I was about to write JAMB, i read the past questions up to 5times. Oral Forms was my problem then. Most students, same as I are always confused with the stress,rhyme,vowels and such likes... until I bent low to learn.

Please again,read. Thats the only secret to scaling JAMB. Don't just view this thread without jotting in your book.

I hope you find today's lesson useful. You can drop your questions too.

THANK YOU.

permanent residence is the right one.

Residence is a state of living in a particular place while resident is a person who lives or has their home there.
