Pronunciation - Consonant to vowel linking
When speaking fluently words link together in different ways.
One way is when one word ends in a consonant sound and the following word begins with a vowel sound. For example, look at the following phrase:
I like it a lot.
The word 'like' ends with the consonant sound /k/.
The word 'it' begins with the consonant sound /I/.
These two words can link together.
Also the word 'it' ends in the consonant sound /t/ and the following word 'a' is a vowel sound by itself.
These two words can also link together.
To find out more about this and other kinds of linking visit the Connected Speech section of our Pronunciation area.
