in phonetics, we have stressed and unstressed syllables, right? i'm asking if there is a sentence, and i have to find the stressed and unstressed syllables (especially as in poetry) they always ask us to find the foot, for instance iambic foot and like this. so i'm asking how to know the stressed and unstressed syllables in the sentence to be able to answer the questions of poetry

Yes, we have stressed and unstressed syllables. I understand what teachers want you to do with iambic verse and pentameter but I don’t know of a sentence to give you any rules for it.
