    Rules based on Plural


    Voiceless Sounds

    Plural (s) is pronounced as either s or z


    depending upon the availability.
    If the previous sound is voiceless, s is
    pronounced. e.g. books, looks, racks, kids
    etc.
    If the prev. sound is voiced, z is
    pronounced. For e.g. buses, shelves, shoes,
    keys etc.

    Rules based on Plural


    Voiceless Sounds

    Whenever in a word, ed appears, t or d


    sound comes in the end depending upon
    the previous sounds:
    If the previous sound is voiceless, t is
    pronounced. For e.g. laughed, clapped,
    baked etc.
    If the previous sound is voiced, d is
    pronounced. For e.g. wanted, boiled, crafted
    etc.

    There are two ways to


    pronounce "the"
    Weak

    Pronunciation : As a general rule, we use the


    weak pronunciation with words that start with a
    consonant.
    It rhymes with "duh" and if you say "mother" it rhymes
    with the "mo" and the "ther".
    e.g. "The cat sat on the mat."

    There are two ways to pronounce


    "the"
    Strong Pronunciation : We use the
    strong pronunciation with words that start
    with a vowel or sound as if they do.
    We also use the strong 'the' when we want
    to stress the word, regardless of whether it
    begins with a vowel or a consonant.
    For e.g. - "I spoke to Kevin Costner the other
    day."
    "NottheKevin Costner! The one who
    starred in Robin Hood?"

    Some more rules on


    Pronunciation
    r is never pronounced if it comes in the
    last.
    r is never pronounced if it is preceded by a
    vowel and followed by a consonant.
    For e.g. carpenter, scorpion etc.
    Note: the vowel preceded by r in any word is
    pronounced longer.
    No vowel is pronounced if it happens to
    appear in a suffix. For e.g. beautiful,
    careless etc.
