1Listen and repeat
In English, -ous sounds /əs/: just a tiny “us”, very short and very quiet. Famous is “fay-mus”, not “famouss”!
2Find the stressed syllable
Listen to each word and click the syllable that is louder and longer.
The rule: -ous is never stressed. Short words are often stressed on the first syllable (FAmous, DANgerous), but not always: amBItious, auTONomous, caPRIcious.
