    This document compares and contrasts words, sentences, and discourse between the Vietnamese and English languages. It notes that in Vietnamese, words are typically monosyllabic without stress, sentences have 3 tenses and are tonal rather than relying on intonation, while English words are often polysyllabic and stressed, sentences have 12 tenses and follow verb-person rules. Discourse in both languages usually covers a particular subject in a serious manner.
