Stressing New Information

Sentence stress gives English its rhythm or "beat".

Word stress is emphasis on one syllable within a word.
Sentence stress is emphasis on certain words within a sentence.
Most sentences have two basic types of words:
content words
• Content words are the important or key words of a sentence. They provide the meaning of
the sentence.
structure words
• Structure words are not important words. They are small words that you use to make the
sentence correct
New Information Stress
When asked a question, the requested information is stressed.
For example:
Where are you from? - I come from Cambridge, in the USA.
What do you want to do? - I want to go to the movies.
When does the movie begin? - The class begins at eight o'clock
