A1-PRONUNCIATON: Word stress in two syllable words

As we have studied in class, English words can be divided into Syllables and there is always a syllable in a word that carries the stress. 

This time we are looking at stressed syllable in two-syllable words. In these types of words the stress can be on the first syllable, (u-gly), or on the second (for-get).

We also studied that, generally speaking, adjectives (u-gly) and nouns (ta-ble) have stress on the first syllables. Verbs, on the contrary, have stess on the second syllable (for-get). 

Watch this video to practice word stress. Follow these four steps: 

1. When the words appear stop the video. 
2. Say the words you see on the screen. 
3. Decide which one is different.
4. Play the video again and check.

GRAMMAR: LOVE, LIKE, DON'T MIND, DON'T LIKE, HATE

In unit 8 we studied the verbs love, like, don't mind, don't like and hate to express the activities we like and dislike: 

• I love going to the cinema
• I don't mind (it's ok) doing housework
• I hate getting up early 

We studied that if you use another verb after the verbs  love, like, don't mind, don't like and hate, the second verb has to add the -ing. Look at the three examples above. 

We studied some problems of spelling with the -ing form.

There are three rules

1. We normally add -ing                        going, visiting, watching, working
2. If the second verb ends in -e            writing, cycling, driving, using
    we delete the e                                (write), (cycle), (drive), (use)
3. a) One syllable verbs in the 
    combination of:
    consonant + short vowel + consonant 
    We double the second consonant        getting, putting, running, stopping

    b) if the second verb has two
        syllables and the stress is on
        second syllable with the 
        combination: 
     consonant + short vowel + consonant 
   We double the consonant too               forgetting, beginning, admitting
