Words ending in TS
Let's learn how to pronounce words ending in TS. It's actually pretty easy to pronounce these words. So let's look at the three words, costs, lasts, and starts.
So what you wanna do is pronounce the words, but pronounce it only ending with T. So we're gonna say costs, but let's start off by saying cost. And then we're just going to add the S at the end and bring it together. So for example, we can say cost-s. So we're saying the word ending in T and then also the S sound. Cost-s cost-s, cost-s, cost-s. Last-s, last-s, start-s, start-s. So break it up and then put it together. Start slow, then say it quicker and quicker until the sound is together.
Try it out and I'll finish with some words and try to say them with me, okay? Costs, lasts, starts, farts, hearts, cuts, hats, mats, quits. Give it a go!
