Common mistakes of required pronunciation
- Stress placement error: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "re-QUI-red" /rɪˈkwaɪərd/ (US) or /rɪˈkwaɪəd/ (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "RE-quired".
- Vowel sound confusion: Some pronounce "required" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying "ree-kwired" /riːˈkwaɪəd/. Tip: The first vowel is a short "i" sound, as in "bit": /rɪˈkwaɪəd/.
- Missing the "d" sound: A common mistake is omitting the final "d," resulting in "require" /rɪˈkwaɪər/. Tip: Always pronounce the "d" clearly at the end: "re-QUI-red" /rɪˈkwaɪəd/.
- Incorrect syllable division: Some learners may divide the syllables incorrectly, saying "re-quire-d." Tip: Keep the syllables connected: "RE-quired" /rɪˈkwaɪəd/ to maintain the correct flow.
- Overemphasis on "re": A frequent error involves overemphasizing "re," leading to "RE-quire-d" /ˈriːkwɪəd/. Tip: Keep the emphasis on the first syllable while maintaining a natural flow: "RE-quired" /rɪˈkwaɪəd/.
