Good day, English Winners! Today, we're
going to talk about S endings in
pronunciation. S endings... this is another
big on,e like ED endings, which I'll have
at the end of this video - so you can link
to it - s endings have three different
endings, which make them challenging, but
we're going to straighten it out and
make it very easy to do. Like I said,
S endings are very important. If you want
to describe more than one of anything -
called plural - you're going to need S
endings, like: cats, dogs, hamburgers,
reports, hamburger reports. We even add an
S at the end of some verbs to show
simple present tense. We use things like
simple present tense to describe things
like: habits, facts, future scheduled
events, or just to tell stories. Examples:
David brushes his teeth. A whale swims in
the ocean. The train leaves at 7:00 p.m.
A man walks into a bar.
So let's get into some pronunciation
trouble spots. Spanish speakers: like ED
endings, you tend to pronounce the ED
sound or that /I/ sound with an /EE/, so
instead of 'faces' you say 'faceez'. This is
not good.Wwe're going to teach you the /I/
sound and there's going to be practice
on my other -ED ending video, which
I'll have at the end of this one. Asians:
look out - especially north
Asians - look out for those extra
syllables. Like, instead of 'smashes', I'll
hear 'smasheseu'. This is not good. So
you're saying three syllables: 'sma shes eu'
I want that third syllable to drop:
'smashes'. Another example: 'wings'.
Instead of 'wings', you'll say 'wingseu. No
'wingseu'. "wing seu' - drop that extra
syllable - 'Wings'. Okay? Let's get on to
pronouncing the S endings. So, like I said,
there are three types of S endings. The
first one is the S - that's pretty simple -
like bats... very simple. Another one is the
Z sounding S ending - like wings - and then
finally we have the /IZ/ which is
pronounced as IZ, like watches, or
mirages. So how do you know which one is
which? How do you know to use the S the Z
or the /IZ/ sound? Well, we're going to
explain that in this video. So first off,
the S sounding S endings. I'm going to
throw a picture on the board so you can
take a look.
Words that end with these sounds: F FFF, K K,
P puh, T Tuh, and unvoiced TH sound TH - they use
the S pronunciation. So remember, our -ED
ending video, where with the T -ED endings,
FK and P had the simple T sounding
ending, like laughed, liked, things like that?
Well, same idea with the simple S
sounding S ending, we've just added the
unvoiced TH. Let's go to the pictures on
the board again one more time: laughs
smacks, sips, starts, bats. Second, we have
the Z sounding S endings, and this is
pretty easy to tell. This is how you do
it: when a word ends with a letter that
makes you turn on this part of your
voice (Points to throat), The voiced consonants like B, V, Z,
TH, the voiced TH consonant M N...
all those have the Z sounding S ending.
I'll put the picture on the board so you
can see, and in case you don't know what
a voiced consonant, is I'll also have a
card at the end of this video
pointing to voiced consonants, so you can
learn how to say them for yourself.
So the voiced sounds are here: b-buh,
d-duh, g-guh, l-la, m-mm, n-nn,
the ing sound, r-rr, v-vuh, and the voiced /TH/
sound TH. The words are: stings, rooms,
pads, magazines, strives, paths. So, quick note
here: some words end with a vowel like
potato, and some end with the part time
vowel: Y like dry. Now, the Y changes to
IE, but the sound doesn't change, so
'dry' becomes 'dries' and 'potato' becomes
'potatoes'... no extra syllable. it's not
'po ta to es' it's not 'dry is', it's 'potatoes'
and 'dries', ok? Let's move on to the next
sound: the /IZ/ is syllable s ending. Now
most of your words with this ending are
going to have the S sound at the end of
the word already, like pass, since there's
an S at the end of pass, we're going to
add /IZ/ 'passes'. But we also use the /IZ/
syllable S ending for letters that
are kind of close or related to the S
sound. I'll show you on the board behind
me. The letters are: S-sss, Sh-shhh,
the soft G-sheu, CH-ch, the J sound -juh, and X-kss.
Words are: discuss becomes discusses,
fish -> fishes, mirage -> mirages, punch -> punches,
package - that's the J sound - -> packages, and
box -> boxes. So I'm going to put some words
on the board behind me and we're going
to have some word practice, okay? let's do
it.
So these are some S ending words up on
the board. Now I want you to guess which
ending these words each have. Do they
have an S s sounding ending? Do they have
a Z sounding s ending? Or do they have an
/IZ/ is syllable s ending?
Pause the video and guess. I'll wait a
couple seconds for you to do that, okay?
Now we're going to go over them together
and then I'll show you which sounds they
are, okay? Let's go: Faxes, dads, buses, wits,
kicks, garages, wishes, drives, maps, watches,
brooms, and schedules. I'll show you the
sounds now, okay? So now we're going to
repeat some sentences. Sentence time! 'The
foxes ate many boxes of walnuts. The
foxes ate many boxes of walnuts.' 'Louise
looks at her maps
before she decides to leave. Louis looks
at her maps before she decides to leave.'
'Fred punches the wall when he learns the
rooms are full. Fred punches the wall
when he learns the rooms are full.' 'The
traveler wishes the mirages were real
lakes. The traveler wishes the mirages
were real lakes.' 'After doing your books, I
see your assets are valuable. 'After doing
your books, I see your assets are
valuable. So that is it for our S endings.
