Word stress…?
Stress in a word, right???
Wait, isn’t that primary stress?No, primary stress is the main emphasis in a
word…isn’t it?
Wait, no, that is syllable stress, …because you stress the syllable.
Wait, how is word stress related to intonationanyway?
So word stress must be the word you stress in a sentence. Ok, I got this.
