hi friend ;
here is your answer;
The stress pattern of a word is the way all the syllables are stressed in it. There can be main and secondary stress, or unstressed sounds.
Examples: apply, attract, complete, arrive, resistWith verbs of two syllables, if the final syllable contains a short vowel and one (or no) final consonant, the first syllable is stressed.
Examples: enter, open, equal, borrow, profitRegards;

This is a huge area. However, there are some fairly regular patterns and these might help your student. The following general “rules” may be of some use but bear in mind that there will often be exceptions!
With verbs of two syllables, if the second syllable of the verb contains a long vowel or a diphthong, or if it ends with more than one consonant, the second syllable is stressed.Examples: apply, attract, complete, arrive, resistWith verbs of two syllables, if the final syllable contains a short vowel and one (or no) final consonant, the first syllable is stressed.
