Question
How many metrical feet are in each of these lines from "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening"?
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
Two, three, four, or five?

Read this carefully. Then read those lines aloud, making note of which syllables are said more loudly (stressed) than the others. You should easily be able to identify the type of "foot" you're dealing with here.
Let me know what you decide.

Right.
Each foot is an iamb, and there are 4 iambs in each line.
Iambic tetrameter!
