PRACTICE PRONUNTIATION THIRD PERSON PRESENT SIMPLE

You can listen to this video to practice it

PRONUNTIATION THIRD PERSON PRESENT SIMPLE

Although the morphological suffix for third person singular verbs in the simple present tense is -s or -es, the suffix is pronounced differently depending on the sound of the last syllable of the verb.

If the last syllable of the verb is a voiceless sound, then the suffix is pronounced as an unvoiced s [s]. Voiceless sounds are produced by not vibrating the larynx, or voice box, in the throat. The voiceless, or unvoiced, sounds in English are:

• p, pe [p]
• t, tt, te [t]
• k, ck, ke [k]
• f, gh [f]
• th [θ]
• h [h]
• y [j]

For example:

• breaks [breks]
• counts [kaunts]
• drinks [driŋks]
• hopes [hops]
• likes [laiks]
• sits [sIts]

If the last syllable of the verb is a voiced sound, then the suffix is pronounced as a voiced z [z]. Voiced sounds are produced by vibrating the larynx, or voice box, in the throat. The voiced sounds in English are:

• m, me [m]
• n, ne [n]
• ng [ŋ]
• b, be [b]
• d, de [d]
• g, ge [g]
• v, ve [v]
• th [ð]
• w [w]
• r, re [r]
• l, ll, le [l]
• all the vowels

For example:

• calls [kalz]
• destroys [distroiz]
• gives [gIvz]
• moans [monz]
• sobs [sabz]
• tries [traiz]

If the last syllable of the verb is a sibilant sound, then the suffix is pronounced /iz/

For example:

• watches
• kisses
