Let's get started.
Let's take a list of words Ghost spaghetti straight enough.
Hi longhand.
Now, if we take a look at that list, the first thing you can notice is that the letters G H can be placed in the beginning of a word in the middle of a word or at the end of a word.
And as you can hear, the sound is different.
Now let's get to it together.
Ghost is the first word Now what is the sound?
What can you hear?
What you can hear very clearly is this G sound ghost.
It's called a hard G.
Most of the time when you have the letters G.
H at the beginning of a word, it will be pronounced good.
Ah, hard G.
The second word is spaghetti.
Now the G H is in the middle of the word.
And what sound can you hear again?
You can hear that very hard G sound spaghetti.
So when GH is in the middle of the word, it is sometimes pronounced good.
But then, if we take the third word straight again, GH is also in the middle of the word.
But the sound is different.
It's what we call a silent GH straight.
You can't actually hear anything.
Okay, so sometimes it's when GH is in the middle of the word, it's silent now.
Our next example is a very interesting case.
It's the word enough.
And as you can see, GH is at the end of the word and what can you hear?
Can you hear a G sound?
Are a silent G H Well, no, Actually, you can hear an F sound enough so sometimes with some words in English, G.
H is placed at the end of the word and is pronounced f like enough.
Our next example is the word high and again GH is at the end of the word, but the sound is not an F sound.
This time it's a silent G h hi.
So sometimes GH placed at the end of a wood is silent and our very last example Waas longhand.
Now with longhand.
As you know, I'm sure it's a compound word, so it's an association of two different words.
It's a special case, so in this case, the sound is not G.
H.
The two letters are separate because you first have the word long and then you have the word hand so you can actually hear both sounds in a separate way.
Long hand.
Okay, so I hope you remember when GH is at the beginning of a word.
Most of the time, it's a hard G sound like ghost when it's in the middle.
Most of the time it's silent, like straight, but not all the time.
We have examples of a heart G sound like spaghetti when it's at the end of the word.
Most of the time it's silent like high, but not all the time we have example examples.
Sorry, Oven F sound like enough.
And finally we have compound now rounds, which are a special case.
Okay, well, let's now review other words and find out how this GH sound is pronounced.
Let's get started, guys.
Please repeat after me.
It's a very important that you practice this first category is for the hard G sound.
Spaghetti aghast Ghost ghetto goal.
Ghastly.
Ghana, Afghanistan.
Let's continue with the F sound this time.
Repeat after me.
Enough cough, laugh rough, tough draft.
And now let's look at words containing the silent G h.
It's a big list.
Now listen very carefully and repeat after me ought to drought Force slaughter straight Slay Sigh, Sigh Naughty Court Daughter eight.
Height.
Wait.
Neighbor might bright light night tight.
Hi.
Sigh bought although thoughts through though.
And now a few examples of compound now downs now because compound mounds are two separate mounds, you can clearly hear the sounds of the letter G and the letter H.
Okay.
Repeat after me.
Foghorn Jughead, longhand, egghead, big headed.
And finally, let's practice full sentences.
Now, remember, be very careful.
Listen very carefully and try to remember how these GH sounds are pronounced.
Repeat after me.
The ghost had a light cough.
My neighbor had enough spaghetti.
His daughter went to the ghetto at night.
We ought to laugh at the neighbor.
Great job, guys.
One final word I want to talk to you about is the word hiccup that most of the time the word hiccup is spelled.
C U P okay, the American spelling and it's pronounced hiccup.
But if you ever go to the UK, you might see the old British spelling.
It's spelled with G H, and it's still pronounced hiccup.
It's the same pronunciation.
It's the P sound, but the spelling is different, so that's an interesting one.
