    Mark The Stressed Syllable

    When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.

    lawyer /ˈlɔː.jə/

    Here. Mentorship /ˈmen.tə.ʃɪp/

  2. Rule 7

    Stress Mark Replaces The Dot

    Do not place a syllable boundary marker where the stress marker appears. /ðeɪ.ə.naʊ.ˈhɪə/ is not acceptable.

    They are now here /ðeɪ.ə.naʊˈhɪə/
