  You can tell by its entry in a dictionary -- in print or online. For example: sto·ry (2 syllables) http://www.answers.com/story Other examples: http://www.answers.com/incredible in·cred·i·ble (4 syllables) http://www.answers.com/because be·cause (2 syllables) http://www.answers.com/interest in·ter·est (3 syllables) But if you look up "cry" there will be no dots separating the syllables -- because there is only one syllable.

  No it is divided cry.One way to count syllables is toho;d your hand under your chin. Everytime your chin goes down is a syllable.
