English Stress Shift in 'Afternoon!' vs. 'Good Afternoon!'
By Ashley | Word Of The Week
How do you greet someone in the afternoon?
"AFternoon ... afterNOON ... GOOD afternoon ... good afterNOON ... good AFternoon ..."
Confused yet?
One of our Masterclass students, Stella, asked about the 'stress shift' in this greeting. This week's WOTW video is actually a 'preview clip' from that very lesson, where Ashley guides her through it step by step.
Look out, because the stress will vary according to who speaks first!
