KEY PRONUNCIATION
1. PRONOUNCING THE /R/ AFTER A VOWEL (R-CONTROLLED
VOWELS)
In this song, there are many words that end in the sound /r/. For example, in
a
Part 1:
ic
There
' s a fire
start ing in my heart
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
ú s
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark

n M
Go ahead and sell me out, and then I'll lay your shit bare

o
This is a tricky sound in English. One common mistake that a lot of students
c
make is that they pronounce the /r/ like the spanish /r/ in perro or ra
zón
lé s
While British English speakers don’t pronounce the /r/ when it follows a
vowel, we always pronounce the /r/ in the United States.
g
No matter if the /r/ is pronounced or not, we never pronounce the /r/ as the
In
trilled /r/ in Spanish.
Watch ‘El sonido más importante en inglés - /r/ sound’ to learn how to
I A
pronounce the sound.
A
ACTIVITY 10
Practice reading the following words.
heart Mark here
share stare hire

ACTIVITY 11
Practice reading some common phrases that contain
R-controlled vowels.
1. How are you?
2. Never mind.
a
3. I don’t understand.
ic
4. No worries.
5. My pleasure.
6. I’m sorry to hear that.
7. See you later.
ú s
M
8. Of course.
2. FINAL STOP CONSONANTS
o n
c
Pronouncing final consonants is very important. Without final consonants
pronounced, people might find it difficult to understand you. For example,
s
In these five words: Five, fire, fight, fine the only different is the final
lé
consonants, if you don’t pronounce the final consonant, people won’t know
g
which word you’re saying
In
However, when speaking, there are some sounds when they come at the
final position, we don’t fully pronounce them. Those are:
I A
/t/ in heart, that, underestimate
/d/ in remind, hand, head
A /p/ in keep, deep

/b/ in Rob, pub, lab
/k/ in think, look, back
We call them stop consonants. We make these sounds in 2 steps:
1. Move our tongue/lips to the position to block the air
2. releasing a strong puff of air. (this step makes the sound audible)
We don’t release the air in /t/, /k/, /p/, /b/, /k/, /g/ when they occur
● at the end of clauses/sentences (or before a pause in speaking)
● before another consonant in a sentence, we don’t release the air.
Examples:
Grab the bag.
That’s my hat.
a
As a result, they become inaudible even though they are still there.
ic
Remember that we still need to put our tongue or lips into the position to
s
block the air.

POSSIBILITY IN THE PAST WITH

o n
“COULD HAVE”
s
c
lé
We use “could have” to talk about the possibility of something happening in
g
the past, but did that not happen in reality.
In
In the song, Adele sings “we could have had it all”, which means she’s
implying that there was a possibility of her and her ex-boyfriend having a
A
happy ending with a family together (had it all), but in reality, that did not
I
happen.
A FORM POSSIBILITY IN THE PAST WITH “COULD”

Could have + Verb (past participle)
Subject Verb Example sentences
We have We could have had it all.
They travel They could have traveled to the north.
She watch She could have watched the show.
a
To form the structure of “could” to speak of past possibility in the past, we
ic
add “have + verb (past participle)”. Note that “have” remains its base form
with any subject.
I could have met him.

She could have met him.
