A lot of English words look the same on paper…but sound different depending on whether they are a noun or a verb.
PERmit = nounYou need a permit.
perMIT = verbThey don’t permit smoking here.
PROduce = nounThis store sells fresh produce.
proDUCE = verbThey produce excellent results.
PROgress = nounYou’re making real progress.
proGRESS = verbYou will proGRESS with daily practice.
This is one of the reasons pronunciation matters so much.
It is not just about sounding better. It helps you understand the meaning faster and speak more clearly.
