    Word stress is important in spoken English because it determines which syllables in a word are louder and longer than others. Placing stress on the wrong syllable can change the meaning of a word entirely. Key rules for word stress include that a word can only have one stressed syllable, which is always on a vowel sound. Examples demonstrate how changing word stress, such as between "present" as a noun versus a verb, impacts pronunciation and meaning. Proper use of word stress instantly improves pronunciation in English.
