Is sentence stress important in IELTS speaking?
Of course, it is. It is one of the features of pronunciation that the examiner is looking for during your test. Consider the following examples where different parts of the same sentence are stressed:
1. I’ve rented a FLAT.
2. I’ve RENTed a flat.
3. I’VE rented a flat.
Although the meaning of these three sentences remain generally the same, each of these sentences has subtle differences.
What do you think are these nuanced differences?
