Zorluk: OrtaDiphthongs

Identify the word from the given list that contains the target diphthong sound.

Cevap:From the set of words (plait, gauge, tread, friend), the word that features the diphthong sound /eɪ/ is 【gauge】.

Cevap

gauge
The word 'gauge' is pronounced /ɡeɪdʒ/ and contains the diphthong sound /eɪ/. Although words like 'plait', 'tread', and 'friend' feature double-vowel spellings, their phonetic transcriptions demonstrate pure monophthong sounds (/plæt/, /trɛd/, and /frɛnd/ respectively).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the phonetic pronunciation of each word in the provided set.
'plait' is pronounced /plæt/, 'tread' is pronounced /trɛd/, 'friend' is pronounced /frɛnd/, and 'gauge' is pronounced /ɡeɪdʒ/.
Vowel graphemes in English spelling often obscure whether the underlying sound is a monophthong or a diphthong.
2
Match the target diphthong sound /eɪ/ with the correct word.
'gauge' (/ɡeɪdʒ/) contains the diphthong /eɪ/.
The vowel sound in 'gauge' involves a glide from /e/ to /ɪ/, forming the diphthong /eɪ/, whereas the other listed words contain pure monophthong vowels.
