Principles for putting stress on two-syllable
words: Stress may fall on the first or second
syllable
-For verbs, adjectives, adverbs or even
prepositions that consist of long vowel or
dipthong (except /əu/) in the second syllable,
stress falls on the second syllable.
E.g.arrive, attract, correct, perfect, alone,
inside…
-But, if the second syllable consists of short
vowel or dipthong /əu/ or ending with a
consonant, stress falls on the first syllable.
E.g. open, borrow, lovely, sorry, rather
-For nouns consisting of short vowel in the
second syllable, stress is put on the first
syllable
E.g. money, product, larynx…
-But, nouns consisting of long vowel or
dipthong in the second syllable, stress is put
on the second syllable
E.g. balloon, design, estate…
