- condiTION, right?

What would feel more intuitive and natural,

and not out of place?

I'm assuming that most of you said 'conDItion'

because that is the primary stress, that

is where the power of the word is.

And this is how you should think about it.

So if you want to practice understanding

where the primary stress is, you can use

the punching method.

Condition, condition, condition.

- Son, what are you doing over there?

I'm a little concerned about you.

- Oh, don't worry, mom.

I'm just practicing my primary stress.

So make sure you're home alone when practicing

the primary stress.

Another way to understand where the primary

stress is to call the word out the window:

condition, come home!
