Stress can change meaning.

read · 2 min

English stress isn’t decoration — it carries meaning. Some words are a noun or a verb depending only on which syllable you hit.

Nouns stress the first syllable

REcord (a disc) · PREsent (a gift) · OBject (a thing)

Verbs stress the second

reCORD (to capture) · preSENT (to give) · obJECT (to disagree)

So “I want to record a record” is wrong twice. Stress the verb on syllable two.
