let's practice rhythm and melody
let's practice word stress of American
English listen to me saying these
sentences and then I'll teach you the
rules I watched it I watched a video I
watched a good video I watched a good
video with him I watched a good video
with my friend let me teach you what I
just did in the first sentence I
stressed watched because I and it are
pronouns so these words do not get
stressed generally listen again I
watched it and then of course we linked
it I watched it I changed it I cook it I
bought it I watched it listen to the
second one I watched a video video is a
noun so we have two keywords in this
sentence we have a verb and a noun and
generally the second keyword get more
stress than the first one so we don't
say I watch the video we generally say
it like this I watched a video I watched
a video I watched a good video good is
an adjective in English nouns generally
get more stress than adjectives listen I
watched a good video so we jump up like
this I watched a good video I watched an
interesting video and then how about I
watched a good video with him which is a
preposition we don't stress prepositions
so we don't say I watched a good video
with him we say I watched a good video
with him and him is also a pronoun like
it so that gets reduced so we don't say
video with him we think video with him I
watched a good video with him but how
about the last one I watched a good
video with my friend friend is a noun so
we do static I watched a good video with
my friend that's a general pattern of
American
English and the word stress and if you
follow that pattern you're going to
sound a lot more natural and people will
understand you much more easily to learn
more rules and to get a lot more
