SENTENCE STRESS IN ENGLISH

  • Sentence stress is the music of spoken English. Like word stress, sentence stress can help you to understand spoken English, especially when spoken fast.
  • Sentence stress is what gives English its rhythm or "beat". You remember that word stress is accent on one syllable within a word. Sentence stress is accent on certain words within a sentence.
  • Most sentences have two types of word:
  • content words
  • structure words
  • Content words are the key words of a sentence. They are the important words that carry the meaning or sense.
  • Structure words are not very important words. They are small, simple words that make the sentence correct grammatically.
  • If you remove the structure words from a sentence, you will probably still understand the sentence.
