Stress on these words
1.
A: Do you like the English teacher?
B: Yes, I do. He's French, but he teaches English so well.
2.
A: Do you like the English teacher?
B: Yes, I do. He's a typical Englishman. But interestingly, he teaches Spanish, not English.
My book says the stress of the underline in #1 is 'English' and in #2 is 'teacher'. This is a little confusing to me.
What makes me more confusing is..
a. Johnny has very short hands.
b. This company has lots of shorthand machines.
c. Max, my puppy, will be trained as a hunting dog.
d. Daddy, look at the hunting lions chasing a zebra.
Where is the stress in a~d?

Hello moon7296,
1. Here, "English" refers to the actual course matter the teacher teaches. You know this through the answer. It say's, "he is French but teaches English".
2. In this Q&A, "English" refers to the nationality of the teacher. Again, you know this through the answer. It say's "He is a typical Englishman".
