ACCENTED WORDS

WHY THE WORD ECHOED HAS AN ACCENTED 'E'
  

Top answer

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are referring to pronunciation, the sound "e" at the beginning of the word is stressed. I am afraid I don't know why that syllable is stressed and not the second.

  • If you are referring to "accent" as the mark used in writing, "echoed" doesn't take one (you do not write "échoed" in English).
  • In phonetic script, however, you may find 'e , but that is only to show that the syllable is stressed in actual speech (it carries more 'force' than the second syllable).
