pronunciation question
|
|
I am sorry to bother you again with the same question but the answers you gave me are not very clear and the pronouncing dictionary by Daniel Jones gives a different answer: what is the pronunciation of the verb "change" in the third person singular (changes)? /z/ or /iz/ and why?
You all said that it was /iz/ but the final sound is not -ch, ss, sh, or x.
Thanks in advance

ˈtʃeɪndʒɪz because of the "dʒ" at the end

OK, thanks, it �s clear now. I had never heard that the sound you write and I don �t know how to write it here was like z, x ch, sh.
I panicked when I looked it up in Daniel Jone �s dictionary and thought that I had been mispronouncing it all my life.
