    For questions with Modal + Subject + VERB, stress the verb and not the modal, e.g.
    - Would you mind if I asked
    - Would you send it tomorrow

    Similarly for statements:
    - I would ADVISE you to ... (subj + modal + VERB)

    Pronunciation:
    - Hello vs Cello
    - "Thank you" vs "Send you" for helping
    - Co-workers vs Cow-workers

    Also, see if we could put the stress towards the end of the sentences, where the focus of the information is.

    MODALS
    1. Question: Would you like to DO something?
    2. Statement: I would like to HELP you do something.
    Stress 1 focus syllable in each clause.
