English has quite a lot of words which have different stress pattern versions. In some cases this is only true of a word in one class and not of other words with the same spelling which belong to another word-class. So, for example, the word access <\/em>only has different stress versions if it is a verb. The noun of the same spelling is always \u02c8\u00e6kses<\/span>.<\/p>\n

When you start messing around with stress, very often the vowels of a word are affected too, as you can see in the table below. <\/p>\n

This is only a small selection of variable stress words. I’ll add to it from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
