• I am not there. I do not sleep.
• I am a thousand winds that blow.
• I am the diamond glints on snow.
• I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
• I am the gentle autumn rain.
• When you awaken in the morning's hush.
• I am the swift uplifting rush.
• Of quiet birds in circled flight.
• I am the soft starts that shine at night.
• Do not stand at my grave 🪦 and cry😢.

## **Stress pattern: ⚪.⚪**
* `yes`, i `do`
* `thanks` to `you`
* `call` me `soon`
* `tea` for `two`
Stressed syllables tend to occur at roughly equal intervals of time.
## **Content words**
are stressed
* Nouns
* Main verbs
* Adjectives
* Adverbs
* Negative Auxiliaries
* Wh-words
## **Function words**
are unstressed
* Articles
* Personal pronouns
* Prepositions
* Conjunctions
* Auxiliary verbs
* Verb to be
## **Breaking the rules!**
The speaker may choose to stress function words to create a special meaning or draw attention to an idea.
* Words are divided in `syllables`.
* `Stress` is the `emphasis` we give to a syllable, therefore syllables within a word can be `stressed` or `unstressed`.
* We can differentiate between certain `verbs` and `nouns` that are homographs by looking at where stress is located.
* Stress can shift or move if we add a `prefix` or a `suffix` to make a longer word. This also happens when we join two words together to create a `compound word`.
So `stress` can do a lot.
But the most important and somewhat dangerous thing we can do with stress in English is: `CHANGE MEANING`.
for example:
```js
I'm NOT SPEAKING to you
I'M not speaking TO YOU
```
The first one indicates that the emphasis is in the action of `NOT SPEAKING` to you. The second one puts the emphasis in who is making the action and whom the action is directed, in this case `I'M` not speaking `TO YOU`.
## **Sentence stress**
English is a stress-timed language where important words within a sentence are emphasized or stressed and unstressed syllables fit in around them. Like highlighting words with your voice!
## **Rhythm**
The stress we put in certain words within a sentences is what gives English its particular rhythm.
Rhythm is the pattern of stresses within a line of text.

Hello Mariana, if you´d be so kind as to, I have a doubt I´d like to clarify. In the minute 1:14 you said “I will not speak to you” and I thought we cannot say “will not” and that we must use “won´t” instead. Am I wrong or there are exceptions to that rule? I´ll appreciate your feedback! I´m learning a lot.

I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
