II. Pronunciation
Stress on all the words in sentences
Typically, a sentence has one word or syllable that is
stressed more strongly than the rest of the stressed
syllables on the content words. However, in some
sentences used to show urgency or surprise, all the
words are important. Therefore, we put stress on
one syllable of each word. Sentences with all the
words stressed may have the patterns below:
OO Watch out! OoO Hurry up!
OOo Say sorry! OOO Don't come back!

I know!

That long? Don't cry!

Go away!
Keep going!
Don't turn left!

Task 6. What would you say in each situation? Make a sentence for each picture. Write a stress pattern under the
picture. Then practise reading all the sentences aloud.
