Word Stress and ING Verbs American English Pronunciation


In this American English pronunciation video, wer're going to go over the word stress of -ing verbs.

The -ing form of a verb always adds an extra syllable. And this syllable is always unstressed.

So it should be lower in pitch and usually a little faster than the stressed syllable

in the word. Take, for example, 'standing'. Stand-ing, stand-ing. Standing. Be careful

with words like 'seeing' or 'being'. The difference between 'seeing' and 'sing' is subtle. But

--- ee-ee, ee-ee, ee-ee --- there is that little reemphasis of the vowel sound that

makes the second syllable, which is correct. Seeing, seeing.

So even in quick, everyday speech, in the context of a sentence, it needs to sound different.

I'm seeing her later. I'm singer later. I'm seeing her later, I'm singer later. Seeing. [x3]

Let's look at some more -ing verb words. Doing, do-ing, do-ing. Doing. Following. Fol-low-ing. Following.

Hoping. Hop-ing, hop-ing. Hoping. Wondering. Won-der-ing, won-der-ing. Wondering.

Word stress is important. So make sure that you do have this contrast between stressed

syllables and unstressed syllables. And keep in mind that the -ing form of a verb always

adds an unstressed syllable.

That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

在这个美式英语发音视频中,我们 将讨论 -ing 动词的单词重音。

动词的 -ing 形式总是增加一个额外的 音节。 而且这个音节总是不重读的。

所以它的音调应该更低, 通常比单词中的重读音节快一点

。 以“站立”为例。 站着,站着。 常设。 小心

“看见”或“存在”之类的词。 “看”和“唱”之间的区别是微妙的。 但是

--- ee-ee, ee-ee, ee-ee --- 对第二个 音节的元音进行了一点重新强调

,这是正确的。 看见,看见。

因此,即使在快速的日常演讲中,在 句子的上下文中,它也需要听起来不同。

我稍后会见到她。 后来我是歌手。 我 稍后会见到她,我稍后会成为歌手。 看到。 [x3]

让我们看一些更多的 -ing 动词词。 做, 做,做。 正在做。 下列的。 下列的。 下列的。

希望。 跳啊跳啊 希望。 想知道。 想知道,想知道。 想知道。

单词重音很重要。 因此, 请确保您确实在重读

音节和非重读音节之间有这种对比。 请记住,动词的 -ing 形式总是

添加一个不重读的音节。

就是这样,非常感谢您使用 Rachel 的 英语。
