Remember!
Short words like articles (a, an, the), conjunctions (and, or), and prepositions (at, of, to) are usually unstressed or in the weak form. However, we use these short words in the strong form in the following cases:

1.When the short words are used at the end of sentences.
Example: What are you playing at ?
Mary is the person I’m looking for.
2. When the short words are used for emphasis or contrast.
Example: This is the place to eat.
It’s not a solution, but the solution
3. When the short words are used for citation.
Example: You should put ‘and’ at the end of the sentence.
REMEMBER
Các từ ngắn như mạo từ (a, an, the), liên từ (and, of) và giới từ (at, of, to) có thể sử dụng chúng ở thể mạnh trong các trường hợp sau:

- Khi ở cuối câu.
Example: What are you playing at ?
Mary is the person I’m looking for.
- Khi dùng để nhấn mạnh và tạo tương phản.
Example: This is the place to eat.
It’s not a solution, but the solution.
- Khi dùng để trích dẫn.
