[kuulani]

List 8 different ways that "ough" can be pronounced.

 

[Leslie]

oh, ooh, ow, aw, oof, owf, ohf...

 

[kuulani]

i was thinking more along the lines of listing the words that those sounds are found in.

 

[kuulani]

[Stop Laughing]

dough (like owe)
tough (life uff)
bough (like bowing down)
ought (like aw)
drought (like out)
cough (like off)

argh, I'm missing 2 more. I remember an I Love Lucy sketch about Ricky reading a book full of 'ough's to his son missing all of them.

 

[Squiggy]

Good job, SL. Add in bought 'aw'

Still missing one..

wait a minute.. drought and bough are both the 'ow' sound...

 

[Ms Ann Thrope]

bought is the same as ought ... "aw" isn't it?

what about "oo" as in through?

 

[Squiggy]

yeah...had that one on my list. Thats why I missed the duplicate...

 

[kuulani]

what about "oo" as in through?

I told SL last night to put drought as also having the oo sound...cause that's how I say it

 

[pc_builder]

"off" as in trough

can't think of any others

 

[pc_builder]
