Pronunciation Hack 2 by secretaryelearning https://padlet.com/secretaryelearning/jv8autwibu53 en-us 2017-08-15 19:10:27 UTC 2025-12-02 18:54:18 UTC hello@padlet.com INSTRUCTIONS: secretaryelearning https://padlet.com/secretaryelearning/jv8autwibu53/wish/181143760 Analyze each word and decide whether they end with a voiced sound (a sound that produces vibration), a voiceless sound (a sound that doesn't produce vibration), or a sound that requires an extra syllable to form the plural. Now go to the collaborative board here and record the pronunciation of the words in the list taking into account the instructions in the video. Include your reasoning in your recording as in these examples:

"Box ends with a sound that requires an extra syllable to form the plural, so the plural is boxes /bɒksiz/"

"Lady ends with a voiced sound, so the plural is pronounced ladies /ˈleɪdiz/"

"Book ends with a voiceless sound, so the plural is pronounced books (/bʊks/)"

You can practice beforehand by typing each word, checking the phonetic symbols, and listening to the pronunciation here.
