Let's explain a bit how to find the bisyllabic words, it is very simple:

Word	Hyphenation
tree (noun)	ar (1) *- bowl* (2)
sing (verb)	*dog* (1) *- tar* (2)
strong (adjective)	*out* (1) *- tea* (2)
far (adverb)	*you* (1) *- jos* (2)
according (preposition)	*I know* (1) *- gún* (2)
but (conjunction)	pe (1) *- ro* (2)

Each of the syllables of a bisyllable word comprises a sound unit which can be formed by vowels (open sounds) or consonants (closed sounds).

In this way, a syllable can be made up of a single vowel (as in the word love:to - mo) or by a vowel and one or more consonants (as in tailor: sas - three).

To know if a word is bisyllable, you have to pay attention to the sound units that are formed, as well as the hiatuses and diphthongs that the word contains, since these can affect the separation. For example, the word
