foot I do not fully understand how to identfy what words are stressed and what words are unstressed.
Would the word "please" be stressed? And how can you tell?
I know that the word "tiger" is first stressed and then unstressed but this is easy to identify because it is two sylibls.
Can you help me?

Teacher Re: foot Hi Sweetlyss643
Stress is based on the number of syllables.
1 syllable: please
2 syllables: ti'ger <stress>
