Stress is the relative emphasis that may be given to certain syllables in a word, or to certain words in a phrase or sentence. In English, stressed syllables are louder than non-stressed syllables. Also, they are longer and have a higher pitch.
English is a stress-timed language. That means that stressed syllables appear at a roughly steady tempo, whereas non-stressed syllables are shortened.
In spoken language, grammatical words (auxiliary verbs, prepositions, pronouns, articles, …) usually do not receive any stress.
Lexical words, however, (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, …) must have at least one stressed syllable.
There is no rule, however, about which syllable is stressed in a word with more than one syllable. You will need to learn the stress of words by heart
( ' = syllable to stress on)
