One is not likely to recommend elementary students to count trochees and cesuras in order to increase their appreciation of good verse.
Can trochees and iambs occur together in the same line without either obscuring or actually destroying the rhythm?
To say that the first phrase is made up of a dactyl and two trochees means very little.
But since they commence with the shorter metre of six trochees only, and are already placed under that head, I too may take them in the like connexion, by now introducing my third species of trochaics, which is Everett's tenth.
But these verses I divide, as I have divided the others, into trochees with initial dactyls.
It is probable that no single thing in the passage offends the ear of Dionysius so much as the double trochees (or their metrical equivalent) which are found at the end of so many of the clauses.
Logaoedic verse consists of dactyls and trochees combined in the same metrical series.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "trochees" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
