Good afternoon to you too :) In the word "comment" when used as a verb, the stress typically falls on the second syllable: "com-MENT" Hope it helps. :)
Hello! Whether it's a verb or a noun, the first syllable is stressed in the word "comment." Verb: "I would like to COMment on your work" Noun: "Read the teacher's COMments on your paper"
The stress is always in the first syllable in this word, whether it is a noun or verb.So don't stress the second the second syllable. Don't say coMMENT but say COmment.

Stress is on the first syllable.
The stressed syllable depends on whether "comment" is a noun or a verb. As a two-syllable noun the stress is on the first syllable- COmment. As a two-syllable verb, the stress is on the second syllable, coMMENT. I hope that helps.
The second syllable is stressed, comMENT
the first syllable is stressed. COmment

TTT (Test - Teach - Test) Learners are tested on their prior knowledge, taught their target language if needed, and then retested. Advantage: focus on specific gaps, making learning efficient. PPP ( Presentation - Practice- Production): Teachers present a concept, learners practice in controlled setting, and then produce language freely.
