Last time we set a quiz. We asked you to go to the Cambridge Learner’s Dictionary and find the word stress for eight words.

Here are the answers:

• computer /kəmˈpjuː.tər/
• agree /əˈɡriː/
• disagree /ˌdɪs.əˈɡriː/
• important /ɪmˈpɔː.tənt/
• meeting /ˈmiː.tɪŋ/
• necessary /ˈnes.ə.ser.i/
• magazine /ˌmæɡ.əˈziːn/
• employee /ˌem.plɔɪˈjiː/

How many did you get correct?

Next time we will look at a predictable word stress group.
