We already talked about how we distinguish verbs and nouns by switching the stressed syllable: ```js (to) imPACT (the) IMpact ``` Now we are going to look at where stress is in longer words. ### **Longer words** We can build longer words by adding parts at the begining and end of the original word or root: ```js for GET for GET ful for GET ful ness for GET a ble un for GET a ble ``` In this example, strees stayed on the same syllable. So it is called `lazy stress` . ```js e CON o my e co NO mic e co NO mi cal e co NO mi call y ``` In this example, strees moved to another syllable. So it is called `lazy stress` . The parts that we add to words to make them longer are: * A `root` and `suffix` : `forget | ful` . * A `prefix` and a `root` : `un | happy` . ### **Suffixes** That DO NOT change stress.   That DO change stress.   ## **Prefixes** That DO NOT change stress.  That DO change stress.  NOTE: These prefixes normally do not change stress for adjectives, e.g. `natural -> supernatural` . ## Exercise
