1. Do you think our missionaries will be able to convert everyone in their areas.

In this sentence, convert is used as a verb (B). A verb is a word that shows action. In this case, the missionaries are trying to change the ideas of everyone to their areas. When convert is used as a verb, the accent is placed on "vert" (D).

2. Do not subject anyone to ridicule.

In this sentence, subject is used as a verb (B). Again, a verb is a word that shows action. If it would be used as a noun, it would be talking about a school subject or a specific theme. This is not the case in this sentence. When subject is used as a verb, the accent is placed on "ject" (D).

3. I expect an increase in salary next month.

In this sentence, increase is used as a noun (A). When increase is used as a noun, it means an instance of growing or making greater. In this case, the salary is bigger. When it is used a verb, it means become or make greater. While these definitions are similar, in this sentence it is used as a noun. When increase is used as a noun, the accent is placed on "in" (C).

4. No protest was expected over the decision of the judge.

In this sentence, protest is used as a noun (A). In this case, they are talking about a protest, perhaps where people stand outside with signs. They are not referring to the act of protesting. When protest is used as a noun, the accent is placed on "pro" (C).

One good way to know which syllable the accent is placed is to say the word out loud.

1. A: verb and D: vert

2. B: verb and D

3. A: noun and C: in

4. A: noun and C: pro

Explanation:

1. The word convert is a verb , the part of speech that refers to an action, state or event. The accent is on vert because it is a verb; the noun has it on con.

2. Subject  is a verb, which also has the stress on the last  syllable.

3. The word increase , used in the sentence is a noun , so the accent is placed on the first  syllable.

4. In this sentence, the word protest  is a noun (a word that refers to a person, animal or thing), differently from the verb protest , the accent in on the first syllable.
