Does play have 1 or 2 syllables?
"Played" has one syllable. The ending "-ed" has no vowel (even though it is written with one), so it does not add a syllable to "play". In words ending in "t" or "d", a vowel is added before this ending, so in those cases, you do wind up with an extra syllable.
How many syllables in while?
Technically, while has 1 syllable since it has one vowel sound and one silent vowel. Some regional dialects affect the pronunciation of single syllable words by adding a second syllable, such as "whi-yul" for while and "chi-yuld" for child.
How do you write close syllable words?
A closed syllable only has one vowel and the syllable ends in a consonant. An example is "sock".
Can you get words of primary stress secondary stress and tertiary stress?
The stressed syllable is the syllable that is emphasized when it is spoken. Some words have more than one stressed syllable, so the primary stress is the most emphasized syllable, the secondary stress is the second most emphasized, and the tertiary stress is the third most emphasized.
