NOUN or VERB? Listen for the word stress

Learn 7 words in English that are actually 14 words! These words can be either nouns or verbs, depending on where you put the stress when you pronounce the word. That means that these words are spelled the same, but have different functions depending on the way we say them. I’ll teach you the rule, go through the words and explain the noun and verb versions of each, and then we’ll do some practice. Let’s start!
