안녕하세요,
명전동후, 이거 아시는 분, 아마도 40-50대 분이지 않을까 싶네요. 아니면 요즘도 학교에서 그렇게 가르치는지 모르겠지만요. 명사형은 강세가 앞에, 동사형은 뒤에 라는 뜻이였어요.
즉, 명사형과 동사형이 스펠링이 같은데, 강세가 다르게 오는 단어들을 말하는 것을 뜻하는데요, 예전 학력고사 세대때 영어 시험에 단골 문제였습니다. 사실 근데, 공부할때는 다 알아도, 이게 막상 말할 때는 강세가 제대로 안나오더라구요. 머리로 아는 것과 입에서 나오는 것과 정말 다르기 때문에, 많이 말하고, 많이 듣는 수밖에 없습니다.
아래는 가장 많이 쓰이는 단어들 입니다. 꼭 자기만의 문장을 만들어서 연습해야합니다.
저는 어제 recording file 을 말할때 첫음절에 recording을 말했는데, 두번째 음절에 강세가 있어야하더라구요. 명사는 렉, 커드, 에 가깝고, 동사는 리, 코우드, 에 가깝습니다.
