Hey everybody Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question
today's question is how do I pronounce the word object which is a thing and
object which is to express disapproval this word is spelled exactly the same
and the meanings and the pronunciation are different and so this word is called
a heteronym that's not important that you know that but what is important is
that you know how to say these words differently so let's take a look I'm
going to give you a simple rule today I've actually talked about this before
and this rule is is that when a two syllable word is spelled the same but
pronounced differently based on whether it's a noun or a verb for the noun
because nouns typically come first in a sentence we're going to remember that we
are going to stress that first syllable as opposed to the verb which oftentimes
in English comes as the second word in a sentence because we say subject verb
object we are going to stress syllable number two
so again syllable number one we are going to stress for the noun and
syllable number two we are going to stress for the verb so what does stress
a syllable mean that means that we are going to make that syllable louder the
vowel longer and the pitch higher and then we're going to do the opposite and
the unstressed syllable we're going to make it softer shorter and lower and
pitch so let's try these two words and we're just going to focus on the word
stress today so for word number one you're going to say object object and
for word number two when it's a verb we're going to say object object so we
have object and object so let's give those a try object object object object
object object object object the teachers may object to having this object on
display the teachers may object to having this object on display give it a
try I know people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
