11-The Music of English – Pronunciation

English is a very rhythmic language because of this tendency to accent only certain words.  Content words are stressed, i.e.verbs  (study) , nouns (English)  , adverbs( hardly) , adjectives (beautiful)  ) Functions words are not stressed, i.e., prepositions (for), conjunctions (and / with) , articles (the / a ), pronouns (I, them..)
