- However, the verb be is stressed in negative questions and at the end of the sentences.
(Tuy nhiên, động từ be được nhấn trọng âm trong các câu hỏi phủ định và ở cuối câu.)
Example: Aren’t you coming?
Yes, I am.
Also, it is stressed for emphasis or contrast.
(Ngoài ra, nó được nhấn mạnh để nhấn mạnh hoặc tương phản.)
Example:
She isn’t coming.
