Different Pronunciations of Spelled-Alike Words

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on whether they are used as nouns or verbs. They use examples like 'present,' 'increase,' 'invite,' and 'record' to illustrate this concept. They note that when these words are used as nouns, the stress is on the first syllable, but when they are used as verbs, the stress shifts to the second syllable. For example, 'present' as a noun has the stress on the first syllable, while 'present' as a verb has the stress on the second syllable.
