Question
- Listen to two conversations and complete the exclamations.
- Listen again and answer the questions with a partner.
Answer
a)
- What a ridiculous idea
- How interesting
b)
- The adjectives (ridiculous and interesting) have extra stress. The intonation is more exaggerated, with extra stress on the stressed syllable.
- Because interesting begins with a vowel, and when a word ending in w is followed by a word beginning in a vowel, the /w/ sound is added.
