Answered by admin @



The stress for the following words  are

1) Tutor  - tu'-tor

2) Ambiguous  - am-big'-u-ous

3) Against -  a-gainst'

Few lines

Word stress: When there are more than one syllables in a word, one of them is stressed stronger than the others.

- It is indicated by the symbol ' before or after the stress syllable.

- The stressed syllable is louder, longer, and pronounced clearly with a change in pitch of the voice.

Hope this helps.
