8.4. The sounds [æ] and [ ]
Look at the verbs below, write in the Past Simple and Past Participle. Then

PART II. PRACTICE IN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION |
Listen to the verbs again and circle the one you hear – Past Simple or Past Participle.
Example: |
ran |
run |
In a sentence you can also tell from the grammar if it is the Past Simple or the Past Participle. Choose the correct tense form in the sentences below.
a.Look! The children drank/have drunk everything.
b.Her boyfriend rang/has rung her eight times yesterday.
c.I‟m sorry you can‟t go into the theatre – the play already began/has already begun.
d.I just swam/have just swum a kilometer.
e.I don‟t feel very well – I drank/have drunk ten whiskies last night.
f.My legs hurt – I ran/have run ten miles yesterday.
The student is reading these sentences aloud. Listen to him and say whether the verb is pronounced correctly (C) or it is pronounced incorrectly (I). Practise saying the sentences correctly yourself.

UNIT 9 9.1.
The sounds [ f ], [ v ] – constrictive fricative, labio-dental; [ f ] is a strong
and voiceless consonant, [ v ] is a weak and voiced consonant, in final position it
is partly devoiced.
The lower lip is very close to the edge of the upper teeth, thus forming an incomplete obstruction. When the air goes through the narrowing it causes slight
friction. For [f] the vocal cords do not vibrate, the air force is very strong. To be-
UNIT 9 |

gin the sound [v], you should bite your lower lip with your top teeth; you should
push out air between your lip and your teeth and use your voice to make the sound.
