What happens when there are too many content words in a chunk?
@TeacherRyane2 жыл бұрын
Hi Leandro- Great question. We arrange the chunk around the content word. For example, if a professor is giving a lecture with a lot of big important words, they might make more "chunks" to help it sound more clear. If they don't do this, they might be hard to understand.

@@TeacherRyane thank you very much for your explanation. I understand now. Can I ask you one more question? Is there a possibility for the verb to be, to work as a content word, in a sentence? I ask this especifically for when the verb to be is the main verb and NOT an auxiliary one.

@@leandroleon2829 Most of the time the be verb will not be a content word. Why? Because the be verb doesn't usually add meaning to the sentence. I can say, "Weather nice today!" and you will clearly understand what I mean even though I deleted the be verb.

The only exception to this is when we are in a conversation and there is confusion. Maybe you didn't hear what I said... In this case, I will repeat the sentence and STRESS the be verb, so you can clearly understand what I said.

@@TeacherRyane perfectly explained! Yes, I knew something about the confusion scenario. I understand that there is another exception for when the be verb is in final position, right? And what about when the be verb is in negative or interrogative form?

I loved your lecture! It's really helpful! Btw what does prominence mean?
@TeacherRyane4 жыл бұрын
The word means "important" or "noticeable," but in this case it just means the word in the sentence that has the important information.
