Many English words end in the sound “n” followed by another consonant. Listen to 
these words. Some of them end either in the sounds [n]+[s], [n]+[t] or [n]+[d]. If they 
do, write them in the table. If they don’t, miss them out. The first three are done for 
you.

Ω 
6.
Sometimes, when two or more consonant sounds occur together across words, one of 
the sounds changes its pronunciation or may even be nearly missed out. This happenes 
especially to [t] and [d]. Listen to these examples. Notice how the final [t] and [d] 
change.
