Linking Vowel to Vowel
When one word ends with a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we link the words with a sort of W or Y sound.
If our lips are round at the end of the first word, we insert a W sound:
oo We write it like this: too often who is so I do all
|
o We say it like this: tooWoften whoWis soWI doWall
If our lips are wide at the end of the first word, we insert a Y sound:
oo We write it like this: Kay is I am the end she asked
|
-- We say it like this: KayYis IYam theYend sheYasked
