Hello Jennifer from Tarle speech  with your two for Tuesday!

Adverbs of manner

It's actually a bonus day, three  for Tuesday. These are homophones,  

Basic passive voice

words that are spelled differently, have different  meanings, but are pronounced the same way.

ceiling which is an overhead interior surface sealing which is a coat  

to protect a surface or to close securely and this one I didn't know 

seeling means to sew the eyes  of a falcon shut for training

It's very uncommon but it is a different  spelling so I added that for you. Um,  

so to say these words correctly we're going  to think about two beats in this word.  

I wrote two l's here on purpose because recently  I've been hearing a lot of mistakes with the  

l. And so I'm going to teach this a little bit  differently today and see if that helps you all.

So let's start with that s  sound. Tip of the tongue is down,  

um, or it is behind the top front teeth. Air is  moving out of the mouth. Move to that long e e.  

Tongue is high and flat and tense in the mouth,  and you're going to smile for that vowel. E.

And then touch the tip of your tongue to the  back of your top front teeth. Specifically,  

to the spot where your teeth meet the  skin on the roof roof of your mouth.

Now syllable number two. I'm teaching it as ling.  Technically, there's only one l in this word;  

however, for some people this is helping  them because you are going to keep your  

tongue there when you end syllable number one,  seal, then when you pull your tongue down,  

some people hear another l. That's fine. I don't care. Just make sure that you  

move from the l into that ing part of the word.  And to do that, we're gonna have a short i  

the tip of your tongue is going to be behind  your top front teeth. Then it's going to move  

to the bottom of your mouth with the back  of the tongue pulled way high up for that  

ng sound. That's two letters, one sound, and the  air is going to move out of your nose. ling ling.

And now for a sentence: The business is  closed because they are sealing the ceiling.

Give it a try people will notice the  difference. If you found this helpful
