ANSWER 2:

The schwa is the vowel sound in many lightly pronounced unaccented syllables in
words of more than one syllable. It is sometimes signified by the
pronunciation "uh" or symbolized by an upside-down rotated e.for
example, the schwa sound is found in the following words:

The a is schwa in adept.

The e is schwa in synthesis.

The i is schwa in decimal.

ANSWER 3 :

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet but there are many more sounds in the
English language. This means that the number of sounds in a word is not
always the same as the number of letters.

For example, the word 'CAT' has three letters and three sounds but the word
'CATCH' has five letters but still only three sounds.

If we write these words using sound symbols, we can see exactly how many sounds they
have.
CAT is written -
CATCH is written -

In 'CATCH' the three letters TCH are one sound represented by one symbol

ANSWER 4 :

English is not a phonetic language--the written language and the spoken one don't
pretend to similar. Just because "put" and "but" end in the same letters
doesn't mean they are to rhyme.

The language is replete with examples you could cite.

Put is derived from the Old English "potian." But is derived from the Old
English "butan." Thus, in Angl-Saxon times the two words did NOT have
the same vowel in their first syllable, which is the syllable each retains
today. It's only through usage that the two words ending up so alike in
spelling.

ANSWER 5:

When we speak naturally we do not pronounce a word, stop, then say the next word
in the sentence. Fluent speech flows with a rhythm and the words bump
into each other. To make speech flow smoothly the way we pronounce the
end and beginning of some words can change depending on the sounds at
the beginning and end of those words.

These changes are described as features of connected speech.

ANSWER 6:

These changes happen automatically when speaking fluently

ANSWER 7:

It is due to pronunciation and flow of speech

ANSWER 8:

Pronunciation refers to the way a word or a language is spoken, or the manner in

which someone utters a word. If one is said to have "correct
pronunciation", then it refers to both within a particular dialect.

Good English pronunciation will make people understand you easily and be willing to
listen to you!

ANSWER 9:

Linking is a way of joining the pronunciation of two words so that they are
easy to say and flow together smoothly. In English there are
different ways that this happens. In standard British English (RP)
the letter 'r' after a vowel sound at the end of word is often not
pronounced. However, when the following word begins with a vowel
the /r/ sound is pronounced to make a smooth link.

ANSWER 10:

The term voiceless describes the pronunciation of sounds when the larynx does not
vibrate. Phonologically, this is a type of phonation, which contrasts with
other states of the larynx, but some object that the word "phonation"
implies voicing, and that voicelessness is the lack of phonation. The
International Phonetic Alphabet has distinct letters for many voiceless and
modally voiced pairs of consonants (the obstruents), such as [p b], [t d], [k
ɡ], [q ɢ] [f v], [s z]

Voice or voicing is a term used in phonetics and phonology to characterize speech

sounds, with sounds described as either voiceless (unvoiced) or voiced. At
the articulatory level, a voiced sound is one in which the vocal cords vibrate,
and a voiceless sound is one in which they do not. Voicing is the difference
between the pairs of sounds that are associated with the English letters "s"
and "z".
