STRESS IN COMPOUND WORDS
We can often put two words together to make a compound, e.g. class + room = classroom. We write some compounds as one word, some as two words, and some with a hyphen (-).
Classroom car park second-hand
The stress is normally on the first part of the compound
O o airport bathroom bus stop car park classroom football girlfriend
Ooo bus station dining room hairdresser newspaper post office sunglasses
Oooo photocopy railway station shop assistant
oOoo police station
oOooo computer program
Some compounds have stress on both parts
if the first part is an adjective or a material.
OO glass jar
OoO single room – plastic bag
OOoO tomato soup
if the first part tells where the second part it.
OO car door – front door – ground floor
OoOo city center- kitchen window
When a compound is an adjective itself, there is often stress on both parts.
OO first-class – half-price – home-made
OoO second-hand
