Now will be easy for me to identify nouns and verbs when I'm listening. I realized that when we pronunce nouns, the strong intonation is at the begining of the word, and when we are pronuncing verbs the strong intonation is at the end.

The final /t/ sound in can’t isn’t always pronounced, English speakers use stress to create a difference between can and can’t.

I was so insecure when pronuncing can and can't and now, I'm not Isecure with those words anymore! I realized that  when pronuncing "can't" we should use stress. Right?
