- Handout p. 31 - Say one of the sentences (a) or (b) to your partner, and your partner responds with the correct reply. Then switch roles.
- ---
- p. 33 exercise 9A - We often don’t pronounce the /t/ or /d/ (or /θ/) between another consonant and the /s/ or /z/ ending.
- “facts” can sound like “fax”, acts can sound like “ax”
- “sixths” can sound like “sikss” (as in “five-sixths” = ⅚)
- ---
- This is also true between one word and the next.
- “find someone” and “fine someone” sound the same
- ---
- Pronunciation of ‘ed’ endings
- ---
- /əd/ or /ɪd/: disappointed - only when the verb ends with /t/ or /d/
- /t/: walked - when the verb ends with another voiceless sound like /p k f θ s ʃ/
- /d/: rained - when the verb ends with any other (voiced) sound
- ---
- p. 34 exercise 11A - Do you add a sound or a syllable to these verbs?
- fix = /fɪks/ -> fixed = /fɪkst/
- ---
- wait -> waited
- wade -> waded
- - These past-tense verbs sound the same, because the ‘t’ and ‘d’ in the middle are flapped after we add a new (unstressed) syllable
- plant -> planted
- want -> wanted
- - The past verbs might sound like /’plænəd/ and /’wɔnəd/, because after /n/ the /t/ might disappear completely
- ---
- He wanted twenty dollars.
- ---
- Ed had edited it. -> Ed’d edited it.
- Ed would edit it. -> Ed’d edit it.
