In which situations must we use strong forms of a function word?
This is a question in my phonetics exam. Actually, I do not understand what is the difference between strong form and weak form, when we use they and what we use them for. I hope that some English teachers can help me answer this question.Thank you in advance.

When someone has misunderstood the function word, you can repeat the sentence stressing the function word. -- I'd like a hamburger with mustard, please. -- So you want the hamburger without mustard?
