- We have many pairs of words where the noun has ‘th’ and the adjective or verb doesn’t:
- true / truth
- heal / health
- steal / stealth
- bear / birth
- die / death
- wide / width
- long / length
- strong / strength
- In other pairs, we add only a ‘t’:
- high / height
- weigh / weight
- give / gift
- ---
- What is your weight? / How much do you weigh?

- thought / taught / sought / fought - This is another set of all 4 sounds.
- (These are the past forms of “think”, “teach”, “seek”, and “fight”.)
