MAKING APPOINTMENTS
5 Pronunciation
When we speak, words are divided into syllables.
When a word has two or more syllables, one of them is stressed. This means that one of them is said
a little louder and a little slower.
For example:
Monday (two syllables): Mon- day
With the word Monday, the 1st syllable is stressed.
Look at the following words. Underline the syllable that is stressed.
1. morning: mor-ning
2. afternoon: af-ter-noon
3. evening: eve-ning
4. department: de-part-ment
5. midday: mid-day
6. midnight: mid-night
7. meeting: mee-ting
8. possible: pos-si-ble
