Question

stress the right word on the right syllables in the following sentences:
Shankar is a good poet.

Answer 1

Shan-kar is a good po-et

Answer 2

Using the right word and right syllables the sentence can be written as: Shankar is a good poet.

A syllable is necessarily and definitely, a single unit part of speech and that unit of speech generally contain a vowel sound as well as may have a consonant post of it.

After or before it, it may be called a cluster of consonants, which means more than one consonant before it or post of it.

This is a standard definition of a syllable.

For example  ‘at’ is one syllable.

It is considered to be a word but it's a single syllabic word; to’, ‘if’, ‘a’, consequently, these are single syllable words in a different name for words that are mono-syllabic in nature.
