Mistakes
Bruce: Where did John go?
Laura: He went to the
drugstore.
Bruce: To the bookstore?
Laura: No, I said he went to the
drugstore.
Bruce: Oh, I misunderstood you. I thought you said bookstore.

Conversation Notes |
- drugstore
- Since this is a compound noun, the principal stress is
on the first syllable.
- To the bookstore
- This is a normally shortened form for Did you say he
went to the bookstore?—with the omitted words “understood.” Bookstore. This
word, a compound noun, has the principal stress on the first syllable.
- drugstore
- Note there is heavy stress and slightly higher than
usual intonation on drug, to emphasize this syllable, as contrasted with
book in the line above.
- How could you make a mistake like that? Weren’t you
paying attention?
- Note there is a difference in intonation between the
how question and the yesno
question.
