How do you write a sonnet and a couplet and a quatrain. How do you know if a syllable is stressed or unsressed by just looking at the word

2 answers

Sonnet = 14 lines carefully written to fit a certain rhyme and meter and organizational pattern.

couplet = 2 lines

quatrain = 4 lines

A stressed syllable is pronounced more loudly than the others. You cannot tell just by looking at the word! You must pronounce it.

"It came upon a midnight clear..."
When you pronounce the words in that line, you should hear that the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th syllables are stressed.
