Stress

[mimi2]

Hi,
Is the stress placed on the first syllable in these words:
1. sometimes
2. general
3. subject
4. Britain
Thanks a lot.

 

[elroy]

Yes. In fact, it's always on the first syllable for all but #3, which can be stressed on the second syllable if it's a verb.

Oh, Thank you very much, elroy.
