Conquering confusing consonants >>> Ah, the infamous "ough" quartet! These four pesky words trip up even the most seasoned English speakers. The culprit? The silent "gh" throws everyone off, masking the true vowel sound lurking beneath. But worry not, for each word holds a unique pronunciation key: TOUGH Sounds like "tuff" (not a real word). > I can’t eat this meat; it’s too TOUGH (tuff). THOUGH Sounds like "tho" (also not a real word, but some people like to shorten 'though' to 'tho). > It’s hot, even THOUGH (tho) it’s winter now. THOUGHT Sounds like "thawt" (not a real word!) > We THOUGHT (thawt) you’re only going tomorrow. THROUGH Sounds like "threw" (the past form of the verb 'throw'). > They had to walk THROUGH (threw) the rain to get here. P.S. Feeling overwhelmed?
