Syllable Stress Patterns in English

Jennifer from Tarle Speech explains how to determine syllable stress in two-syllable nouns and verbs, especially those spelled the same but pronounced differently. Nouns typically stress the first syllable, while verbs stress the second. The same rule applies to compound nouns and phrasal verbs. Examples include 'produce' and 'record' for nouns and verbs, and 'football' and 'checkout' for compound nouns.
