 RULES: Tip of the Month
Adjective + Noun Stress Pattern:
In a sentence with an adjective + noun, the noun is stressed, e.g., "red car."
Sometimes the same two words can make up a compound noun, or have a completely different meaning as an adjective + noun combination.
With a compound noun, the stress is on the first word, e.g., greenhouse.
With an adjective + noun, the noun is stressed, e.g., green house.
"The green house has a greenhouse filled with beautiful plants and flowers." |
