Question

Read the passage from “The Charge of the Light Brigade:”

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.

Theirs but to do and die.
Into the Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Explanation:

• Word stress is the idea that in a word with more than one syllable, one (or more than one) syllable will be stressed or accented
• Words are made up of letters and those letters create syllable sounds. When we stress syllables in words, we use a combination of different features. we can recognise a syllable by remembering that each one contains a vowel sound. For instance, in the word computer, there are three syllables: com/pu/ter. The word house, however, has only one syllable. A single syllable may contain as little as just one letter, or as many as five.
