Pronunciation #1: Were, where, war?

Were VS. Where VS. War

A lot of students have a hard time with pronouncing these words. A lot of students say, "they all sound the same!!!" So, let's try to do it right!

Meanings:

• Were: The past tense of the verb "are" used with "you" or "we".
• Where: Question word used to find location/places.
• War: Fighting, battle.

Example:

• Were: We were tired yesterday.
• Where: Where is Disneyland?
• War: My dad fought in the war.

where is Disneyland?

Pronunciation:
All the W sounds are the same. Try saying the words like this:

• Were: W + EARth
• Where: W + AIR
• War: W + OR

Try it, you'll hear a big difference! I promise~<
When you're ready try to say "Where were you in the war?"
