Technically, I pronounce “research” the exact same way as a noun and a verb: with the stress on the prefix “re-,” as does everybody else. That word is an exception.
The idea that there is only one stressed syllable in every English word has challenged me since my youth. Still, thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten the noun/verb dichotomy. It has been three decades since I looked at this rule of grammar.
A teacher of mine who speaks Portuguese taught me a method he learned to identify the stressed syllable within words in Portuguese that he also uses to identify the stressed syllable within words in English. You can make believe that you are calling or shouting a word like it's a person's name that is really far from you like across the street. When you do that, you can notice there's a syllable that takes the longest to be pronounced. For exemple , the name Jennifer. If Jennifer were across the street and then I scream or shout out loud her name to get her attention JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEnnifer , the first syllable woud take the longest to be said. Other examples: EEEEEEEEEEEMma RAAAAAAAAAAAAchel, JUUUUUUUUUUlie, A MAAAAAAAAAAAAAnda, JHOOOOOOOOOny, BRIIIIIIIIIIIIan trying this method with other words: DEEEEEEEEEEEEfinitely BUUUUUUUUUUUtter, MUUUUUUUUUUsic, sugGEEEEEEEEEEst aMAAAAAAAAAAAzing, UUUUUUUUUgly, aBOOOOOOOOOUt So the syllable that takes the longest to be pronounced it is the stressed one.
Thank you for your helpful lessons. I'm studding English and I have two questions I got confused about them. I would appreciate if you could help me about them. Q1 When ................. what color to pick you need to bear in mind.... 1- decided 2- deciding. 3- been decided. ------------------------ Q2 I think we ................ followed. Don't turn around. 1- are being. 2- are 3- were ------------------ Thank you in advance for your help.
It's well organised, clear and ...sincere (considering plenty of exception in every rule) explanation. Well, well, well, it this turbulent world the most stable thing is... instability. While Romes had declared "Non regula sine exceptione" they probably were considering not only grammar. Now my headache is to digest your material. Thank you, Greg.
What about stress shift? E.g.:I underSTAND that. (Bold letters indicating word stress) Versus: I UNDERStand THAT. That contradicts your statement “we never stress under-“ By the way,very interesting video you made.
Hi Greg. Is there a video explaining the following words: all, whole, entire, complete, full? I'm asking, because I have realised that often I'm not sure whether to use entire or whole for example. Would be great if you could cover this topic one day 😀 Thx
Hi Greg.. great explantions as always👍.. I would add the words to promise and a promise. That is another exception to the rule ( like to respect and respect. that you mentioned in the video).
I like this lesson very much! it is impressive and very useful for me. 👍🏻 Sometimes I guess the right pronunciation, and sometimes not.. 🤷🏻♀️ And what about "improvement" ? I would say on "PRO" is that right? Anyway you’re great Greg!! 🤩
Hello Greg, thank you so much for your videos! I wondering if you have any hints and tips for the different pronuntiations of "to". Sometimes it is like "2" an other times people say "da". For instance: "2" have- "da" heal- "2" know " da" hold. Thanks again!
The -ise bit illustrates my first point. Organize. All three of those are neutral to me. The first might just barely be emphasized. Basically, it is by default, but it doesn't seem stressed. If I think about it, you seem right. When you said afternoon and understand, you gave an accenting to the first syllable in each. Af-ter-NOON...
Hi this was really a great lesson. Thank you! I have this question, If I want to say someone's first and last names, which name I should stress and say it louder!
I have seen some very good English lesson tutorials but this is the best so far - I have never being conscientious about placing stress on my words, which might explain, why I sometime get some strange looks.
Thanks, Greg, it's very useful but it is sensitive to know how many exceptions are. Otherwise, it's easier to remember how do each word pronounced. For example, the word "event" is a two-syllable noun but stress is on the second syllable. After the lesson, I hesitated about how to pronounce it, though before I used it very often :-)
in short messy language/rules. You have to remember: spelling, pronunciation, stress & meaning for each word/phrase :( the reason I prefer Esperanto as coming international Auxiliary language. I hope I will enjoy my 6 distinct language Chinese Mandarin, starting with Pinyin phonetics ;)
Hi Greg! I love your videos, they’ve helped me a lot to improve my English. I was wondering if you could make a video about the pronunciation of adverbs, please. It would be very helpful. Greetings from 🇨🇱!
Thanks alot to bring up useful to English learner. It's great. Seemingly 'Television is special word, right. I looked for in ductionary. That shows syllable stress is the first one Can you or some one help to confirm. Appricate for that
I was pronouncing "hotel" wrong for like 10 years :D Until I learnt the stress is on the second syllable (not at first like the most of nouns and adjectives)...

That word is an exception.
I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I don't get the PDF file in my mailbox.
Grey, When are you planning to go live?
Yes I will.
Thanks , very useful ! even for English teachers like me. I discovered a few clothes I didn't know about.
Thank you very much

I never knew these rules before. Cheers
You're best teacher

I can't thank you enough for information

aMAAAAAAAAAAAzing, UUUUUUUUUgly, aBOOOOOOOOOUt
So the syllable that takes the longest to be pronounced it is the stressed one.
I felt I was very lucky that what I asked was so rapidly answered! Your video helps me a lot! Thank you very much!😊
Wow! I am mind blank. You're a good teacher

What about stress shift?
E.g.:I underSTAND that.
(Bold letters indicating word stress)
Versus:
I UNDERStand THAT.
That contradicts your statement “we never stress under-“
By the way,very interesting video you made.

Hello Greg, thank you so much for your videos! I wondering if you have any hints and tips for the different pronuntiations of "to". Sometimes it is like "2" an other times people say "da". For instance: "2" have- "da" heal- "2" know " da" hold. Thanks again!

The -ise bit illustrates my first point. Organize. All three of those are neutral to me. The first might just barely be emphasized. Basically, it is by default, but it doesn't seem stressed.

For the First Time i understand how to stress the verbs and the nouns that have written in the same way. Thank you 😘😘
Hi, can you help me, please! How should ask : what is the guarantee period of...? Or how long is the guarantee period of...?
What here is for asking about the definition, so how long or how much time is the right choice.
@@AdamAdam33-ts1hv thank you very much

@@EnglishWithGreg I need help with an British Australia accent would you help me? I am from Germany it's quite hard to get different accents.
Excellent post!!👍thx so much.😮
Hi Greg. To be honest I prefer British accent, but we use hand out book from america for student. What should I do?
Wonderful lesson!
question and respect have their stress on the root instead of prefixes or suffixes.
Ayup....You are such a great teacher Greg...so much fun to listen to.😊😊👍👍Tara for now
I have seen some very good English lesson tutorials but this is the best so far - I have never being conscientious about placing stress on my words, which might explain, why I sometime get some strange looks.
I so much love this
Thank you sir
Teacher, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your excellent explanation, I really enjoyed it.
Two-syllables exception: practise, travel. Nouns: hotel.
Your videos are always amazing. I need to try to make more time to study a bit more English with your videos.
very interesting and useful teaching

Greetings from 🇨🇱!
Thank you.
Thanx 😊
May I suggest a vídeo explaining the rules when to use THAT and WHICH? They seem to be used interchangeably but I suspect they aren't.
Greg makes a video that people can understand easily but when it comes to deliver they stuck where to use like know or knew, take, took or takes etc.
Please do a video of difference between would-Will, Could-can should-shall and it's pronunciation and it's usage
🎉 You're teaching well ❤
Thanks, Greg, and how 3 or more syllable words are stressed...???
Thank you Greg
Thanks Greg. Did you people use to learn word stress rules at school besides in the real life?
Best teacher
Teacher, can you please teach figures of speech in English?
Very useful topic
Greg, you're awesome as always!!! 👍💓🙋
Thanks for your lessons, but, which is the difference between "stress" and "accent"? Anyway, greetings from Athens.
Thanks alot to bring up useful to English learner. It's great.
Seemingly 'Television is special word, right. I looked for in ductionary. That shows syllable stress is the first one
Can you or some one help to confirm. Appricate for that
Soooooo Great video🎉
Such a great lesson🎉 any of my teachers thought me these rules before. What a shame😐
Good I am from sri Lanka
That's amazing ❤❤❤❤
U earned it
Television is an exception for words ending "Sion" It's rather stressed on the first syllable.
Stressed on the penultimate is valid too
I was pronouncing "hotel" wrong for like 10 years :D Until I learnt the stress is on the second syllable (not at first like the most of nouns and adjectives)...
Greg, can you do passive voice and active voice
You should give examples with stress mark
