LINKING CONSONANT VOWEL
For Intermediate level
When we say a sentence in English, we join or "link" words to each other. Because of this linking, the words in a sentence do not always sound the same as when we say them individually. Linking is very important in English. If you recognize and use linking, two things will happen:
- you will understand other people more easily
- other people will understand you more easily
There are basically two main types of linking:
- consonant ⇔ vowelWe link words ending with a consonant sound to words beginning with a vowel sound
When a word ends in a consonant sound, we often move the consonant sound to the beginning of the next word if it starts with a vowel sound.
For example, in the phrase turn off...
| we write it like this: | turn off |
|---|---|
| we say it like this: | tur-noff |
