First we look at the common situations where S appears at the end of words:
– regular plural nouns
– third person singular verbs (simple present tense)
– possessive nouns (apostrophe S)
We then look at how the final S is pronounced in three different ways: /iz/ … /s/ … /z/
We see why the S is pronounced in these three ways by learning about voiced sounds, voiceless sounds (unvoiced sounds), and sibilant sounds.
We then give many examples of words ending in each of the /iz/ – /s/ – /z/ sounds.
To end this lesson we have a practice exercise.
We have created more practice exercises in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?vjJRqZPyuoFM
