Which syllable do you put the stress on in the word water /'water'? I put the stress on the first syllable. That's fine.

  • Which syllable do you put the stress on in the word water /'water'?
  • I put the stress on the first syllable.
  • That's fine.
  • In a real life conversation, the questioner would probably omit 'the word', and the response would probably be just 'The first'.
