There are some words in English which change their meaning when you change the stress. Here’s an example:

Perfect - free of mistakes, problems, errors.

1 - The teacher said my homework was perfect. (PER-fect)

2 - She got a perfect score on the exam.

3 - Your pronunciation is perfect.

4 - It’s hard to be perfect all the time.

5 - That painting looks just like my grandmother. It’s a perfect likeness.

6 - The forger copied my signature perfectly. Uh oh!

7 - What a smile! She has perfect teeth.

8 - The criminal had a perfect alibi.

9 - The doctor said I was in perfect health.

10 - This is the perfect place to begin our discussion of aliens.

To perfect something: per-FECT - to make something or do something as well as you can

11 - It took her years of practice to perfect her violin technique.

12 - I have tried for years to perfect my pronunciation of French.

13 - The car company is trying to perfect a new type of engine.

14 - The chef has perfected his recipe for chicken Kiev.

15 - My wife goes ice skating every day, but she has not yet perfected her jumps.
