More R-Controlled Vowels

     Previously we saw that R-controlled vowels are vowels that sometimes sound a little different when they come before the letter r, and we also discuss some common ways in which we can see this phenomenon phonetic English.



-A verb expresses an action in a sentence.
-A worm had eaten a small hole in my apple.
-Someone who is alert  always pays attention.
-The waiter will serve us at the restaurant.
-The bird flew to sit on the egg in the nest.
-The wigggling toddler will squirm in her lap.
-The thirsty boydrank a glass of water.
-The water balloon burst in a wet explosion.
-I urge you to watch this award-winning movie.
-The road will curve at the roundabout.

     Now here's a list for you to continue you expand your vocabulary; you also have the next link. If you want to remember, you can  go back to the previous lesson about r controlled vowels right here.
