PPT
Explain that each of the previous sentences takes about the same time. That is
because the timing of phrases is determined by the number of stressed points, not
the number of syllables.
Tell students to practice these sentences with their partners and pay attention to
the timing.

Ask your students to look at the sentences and see, if they can see a pattern that
would help them come up with a rule that explains which words are stressed in
phrases.
Rule:
Stress falls on the stressed syllables in content words (nouns, adjectives, verbs).
Function words are usually unstressed.
Go over the following sentences to demonstrate the rule:
I live in a dorm.
This is my first apartment.
This weekend I will visit my family.
Practice 1:
Provide a number of sentences and have students work with their partner to
determine the stress in each of the sentences.

Review
Prepositions
Preview
Prepositions
a) There are approximately 80 to
100 prepositions in the English
language.
b) Prepositions are words that
introduce information to the
reader. This information can
include where something takes
place (such as 'at' the store),
when or why something takes
place (such as 'before' dinner), or
general descriptive information
(such as the girl 'with' the cool
tattoo).
Introduce the grammar point of prepositions and explain the concept (see
Function/Grammer on right).
The textbook focuses on a few prepositions of place, so work on those with
the students.
Provide a number of examples (you may choose a couple from the options
below, or use the examples from the textbook).
