EXPLANATION OF WORD STRESS IN NUMBERS

primary stress is in green

 There are several stress patterns when saying numbers.
 
1.The first stress pattern is with numbers  ending in     –teen  :

IF there is a PAUSE after   –teen , then this second syllable receives the main stress.    The first syllable has secondary stress.  

I need eighteen         .   There is a period after eighteen; therefore, a pause comes after the number.  That is why the stress is on TEEN.

When you are telling time, you  put the stress on TEEN because there is a pause after you say the time:   5:15.   Five fifTEEN        

How old are you?   I am thirTEEN        .    

Practice:

I need eighTEEN.
It is five fifTEEN.
I am thirTEEN.

These are general rules, but with numbers, you might here a variety of acceptable ways to pronounce them.   Do your best to follow these rules so you will be clearly understood.
