Spelling/Pronunciation: Homographic Heterophones (pairs of words with the same spelling but different pronunciations) - SET 01

Tools

Pairs like LIVE (I live there : I saw the concert live) are a problem for most of my students: the same spelling (LIVE in this example) has two pronunciations. I am making this exercise to attempt to help students with this tricky area of English spelling/pronunciation.

prònŭncíātion-kēy:
hăt, hāte, fáther; pĕt, Pēte, café; dĭm, dīme, skí; nŏd, nōde; cŭt, cūte, acoústic; bўt, bӯte, envý; à, è, ì, ò, ù, ỳ = ə; ȧ, ė, ȯ, u̇, ẏ = similar to ĭ but stressless; rubbɇd; façade, soc©er; aġe, ğet
