The four main feet of English prosody are the iamb, trochee, anapest, and dactyl. An iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da-DUM), while a trochee has a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable (DUM-da). An anapest features two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable (da-da-DUM), and a dactyl consists of a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables (DUM-da-da). These feet form the rhythmic building blocks of English poetry and meter.
