Pronunciation 

• Hãy đọc những cụm từ sau. Chú ý cách phát âm “hình thức yếu” (weak form) hay hình thức không nhận trọng âm và “hình thức mạnh” (strong form) hay hình thức nhận trọng tâm của các trợ động từ.

(Trong câu hỏi, cụ thể là khi trợ động từ đứng trước chủ ngữ, trợ động từ thường có hình thức yếu. Ngược lại, trong câu trả lời ngắn, trợ động từ thường có hình thức mạnh bởi vì trong trường hợp này chúng đứng cuối câu và thường nhận trọng âm.)
