What is stress in the English language?
I suppose that “proof” and “pudding” are stressed in the title sentence of this thread.
In the same sentence, “in” is not stressed because it is used as a preposition.
Actually, if you want give me a list of saying or sentences you want to hear. I’ll make a lingq lesson for you, sentences broken into natural stresses and then again a couple of times at natural pace.
They *brought him in his *breakfast. (?) <—This is from the novel by Maugham.
They brought *Carruthers in his *breakfast. (?)
They *brought in *breakfast to *Carruthers
They *brought his *breakfast in to *him. (?)
Or, “They *brought his *breakfast *in to *him”? I don’t know.
I’ll *send you in some *aspirin. (?) <—This is also from the novel by Maugham.
The following are from a dictionary. The marks are mine.
*We were locked *in.
The *hole has been filled *in.
My *classmate was *in at the time.
The *other kids *had it *in for *me. (Is this right?)
*I wasn’t *in on that *particular argument. (Is this right?)
Ah, Yutaka, but how can you stand the taste and SMELL and appearance of なっとう??! Urggh. I knew some Japanese people who couldn’t stand it either:) They said they’d rather eat Vegemite… ^^.
(The rest was edited because you found the expressions in a dictionary, and simply wanted to know speech stress. Cheers.)
