hey everybody Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question
-
today's question is how do I pronounce variations of the word progress or to
-
make movement towards a goal so let's go ahead and take a look let me put my
-
notes down so we have the word progress and progress is the noun and we're going
-
to stress the word Pro progress progress the progress we're going to flip that
-
and if you've been watching my videos for a while you know there's a pretty
-
general rule that works most of the time then when we have a noun and we're going
-
to stress syllable one in a two syllable word and we have the exact same word
-
that's pronounced slightly differently when it's a verb we're going to stress
-
syllable number two so again syllable number one in the noun
-
progress and in the verb pro gress so we're going to stress the gress so to
-
stress something you're going to make it a little bit louder the vowel a little
-
bit longer and the pitch a little bit higher than the other syllables and the
-
word so we have progress and progress progress progress keep that in mind that
-
we're going to be stressing that second syllable when we add a lot of these
-
suffixes on to the word so when we add the ing I think where people get
-
confused is this has an extra syllable so we have progress progressing gress
-
Sing progressing but then when we have this ed you do not add an extra
-
syllable you're just gonna add a T to that second part of the word if you're
-
interested in more about this I do have several lessons on adding that ed
-
ending to the words so we have Pro gresst progressed so progress progressing
-
progressed last we have progression and I forgot to
-
underline this and we are going to stress that same syllable because it's a
-
syllable right before that shun progra shun and I think also people got really
-
confused because of the spelling and we are going to end this word in shun so
-
again stress syllable number two and then stress syllable number two and add
-
an extra beat with the ing stress syllable number two and just attach that t
-
sound that second syllable and then still stressed syllable number two and
-
end with tion when we see those two S's there okay let's give it a try so we
-
have progress progress progressing progressed progression progress progress
-
progressing per get progressed progression sorry about that this is
-
like a tongue twister one more time so I can get it correct progress progress
-
progressing progressed progression to make progress
-
you must progress through the lessons give it a try I know people are going to
