Understanding Syllables
Understanding Syllables
To understand word stress, it helps to understand syllables.
Every word is made from syllables.
Each word has one, two, three or more syllables.
| word | number of syllables | |
| dog | dog | 1 |
| green | green | 1 |
| quite | quite | 1 |
| quiet | qui-et | 2 |
| orange | or-ange | 2 |
| table | ta-ble | 2 |
| expensive | ex-pen-sive | 3 |
| interesting | in-ter-est-ing | 4 |
| unrealistic | un-rea-lis-tic | 4 |
| unexceptional | un-ex-cep-tio-nal | 5 |
***Notice that (with a few rare exceptions) every syllable contains at least one vowel (a, e, i, o or u) or vowel sound.
