Stress refers to the emphasis placed on certain sounds or syllables in speech. It is determined by the degree of force or loudness used to articulate a sound or syllable. Words can have primary, secondary, or tertiary stress on different syllables. Word stress shows which syllable in a word is emphasized, while sentence stress shows which words in a sentence are emphasized. Some two-syllable words have different meanings and functions depending on whether the first or second syllable is stressed. Correct stress is crucial in English as incorrect stress can change the meaning of words and make communication difficult.
