What are words with stress on the forth syllable?

It's actually quite rare for words in English to have stress on the fourth syllable. This is because most English words have a stress pattern that falls on either the first, second, or third syllable.

There are a few exceptions, but they are usually longer, more complex words, often of Latin or Greek origin. Here are a few examples:

Words with stress on the fourth syllable:

* intellectu**al

* controversi**al

* communication

* democrati**c

* representa**tive

* presentation

These words are often used in formal or academic contexts.

It's important to note: Stress in English can be tricky! There are some words where the stress can shift depending on how the word is used. For example, the word "record" is stressed on the first syllable when it's a noun, but it's stressed on the second syllable when it's a verb.

If you're unsure about the stress pattern of a word, the best thing to do is to check a dictionary.
