Student: How do I remember the pronunciation of words with the same spelling but different pronunciations when they’re nouns or verbs?
Teacher: Remember this: “I will proGRESS in my PROgress.” So, accent the suffix when it’s a ①; accent the prefix when its a ②.
Choices:
noun
verb
Answer And Explanation:
We accent the suffix when it is a ① verb and we accent the prefix when it is ② noun. The prefix is the beginning half of a word or number; the suffix is the ending half.
