Rhythm refers to the recurrence of an event at regular periods of time. The rhythm
of English speech depends on the stressed syllables occurring at regular intervals of
time. This is easy in a sentence like
'Go and 'post this 'card.
because in this sentence there is one stressed syllable, then one unstressed syllable,
and then one stressed syllable, and so on. Let us take another sentence.
The 'boy you 'met on 'Monday 'came to 'see you.

syllable, but there is a slight pause after 'Monday'. In the sentence that we use in our
everyday speech, the stressed syllables may not occur so regularly. Take the sentence

syllables before the first stressed syllable, four unstressed syllables between the first
and the second stressed syllables, five unstressed syllables between the second and
the third stressed syllables, and three unstressed syllables between the last two stressed
