Hi Everyone
I'm new here, and was hoping you guys might be able to help? I've been trying to improve me understanding of stressed and unstessed syllabes and I'm having a little trouble with a few words. For example:
all,
day,
to
In piety they are all stressed
Shall I comPARE thee TO a SUMmer's DAY
tell ALL the TRUTH but TELL it SLANT
However, when I look them up, in the dictionary, they seem to be unstressed. So, I must be going wrong, somewhere. Furthermore, are long vowels stressed, while short vowels are unstressed? And could some one recommend an online dictionary that uses upper and lower case to demonstrate syllable stress.
Many thanks
