How to use "Iambic pentameter" in context?
In poetry, ambic pentameter consists of five pairs of stressed and unstressed syllables, usually center-lined. The first line of each stanza always has five syllables.

In English, this type of rhythm is often heard in the lines "How sweet it is to be loved by you.
