hello， my name is emma and in today's video we are going to practice pronunciation we're going to look at spelling that many learners have difficulty pronouncing so what spelling is that it's the spelling of ough i have many students who get scared when they say when they see ough when they see this they think i don't know how to pronounce ough and why do they think this well， it's because there are different ways to pronounce this spelling the spelling and the pronunciation do not match so in today's video we're going to talk about some words that have ough the words we're going to talk about today are common words in english that you will probably use and we're going to talk about how we pronounce these words so to get started let's look at a couple of different words that have ough in them and i want you to just listen carefully to the pronunciation i want you to listen and think do we pronounce these words the same way or different ways do we pronounce ough the same way every time or do you hear multiple pronunciations so let's get started this word is bought though cough enough i'll say this one again because i said it in a little strange voice enough through drought so you might have noticed that we're using different vowel sounds sometimes we have an f sound there's a lot going on with these words with pronunciation， but they are not all pronounced in the same way in fact， i just pronounced ough in six different ways so in english there's a bit of a controversy as to how many ways can you pronounce ough some people say in north american english there are seven ways or maybe eight ways when they talk about british english they say there might be nine ways well， i'm going to make it easier for you in general， there are six important ways and why do i say these six ways are important well， it's because these are the six ways you might actually use you might actually see a word that has one of these six pronunciations so even though there are more pronunciations a lot of ough words are older words that we don't use anymore so i'm going to teach you the ough words that actually will matter to you and that are common okay， so let's get started by learning about words that have ought in them okay， so， so what is the first way we can pronounce ough， we can pronounce ough like an awe sound so if you think about the word， jaw or law we have that awe sound in it， we can pronounce ough like an awe and notice there's no g in that so the g is a silent letter so let's look at some common words where you might hear this awe sound in it probably the most common that my students use is the word bought bot is the past tense of the verb to buy so i can say i like to buy books yesterday， i bought a book so again you'll see that it has the ough spelling for some of you it might be helpful to write out how you might pronounce this word？ so i've done that down here bawt bought so this is the pronunciation and this is the correct spelling again it is the past tense of the verb to buy now i have here another word that actually has a bit of a different spelling it's augh but i'm going to include it today because it also has this awe sound in it and that is the word taught taught is the past tense of teach so for any of you who are teachers this is an important word i use this every day because i am a teacher and every day i teach so yesterday i taught some students english so taught is the past tense of teach and it rhymes with thought so if i wanted to write this out the way to pronounce it i'd write a t a w t taught now we have the next word thought thought is the past tense of fight so sometimes we talk about people are in a fight the past of that is thought again it has an f awt sound thought all of these rhyme thought taught thought because they all have that strong awe sound in them okay the next word thought this is another common word do you know what this is the past tense of it's the past tense of the verb to think so right now i'm thinking about eating for some reason i'm thinking about english but yesterday i thought about grammar so we can use the word thought to talk about the past this word is less common so i would say that if you need to remember words to today really focus on these words but this is also a word you might see in english it's the past tense of the word to seek seek is another way to say look for something when you seek something you look for something but this is a bit of a formal word you might hear it in the game hide and seek so seek is a verb in english， but it's not so common but the past tense of the verb seek is sought so again it has that awe sound to it sought so i've written it down here as awt now， i have another word that has that awe sound and that's the ought ought means should it's very similar to should i ought to do my homework i should do my homework but in terms of how frequently we use the word aught in north america it is not such a common word i think it is more common in england or britain， but in north america you can use it， but it's not the most common word should is a lot more common， but again this has the same pronunciation awe so it has that aught sound to it okay， so again the first way to pronounce ough is awe now let's look at another way to pronounce， ough okay so now let's look at some other common words that have that ough spelling so we have here the word though notice how i'm pronouncing the ough in this word though it sounds just like the letter o or the oe in toe so ough sometimes is pronounced like oh， what are some other words that have this pronunciation we have although thorough and dough so thorough is it describes a way of doing things when we do things thoroughly it means we do them very carefully and diligently and we spend a lot of time on something although and though our transition words so we often use these in writing and then we have the word dough dough is the when we make bread or cookies or cake we often talk about dough so that's the cake or the cookies or the bread before we bake it we call that pre baked dough so again all of these have that o sound and all of these are common words in english now we have another word here that has a different way to pronounce ough and that's the word through through so notice i'm pronouncing ough in this word it's like an ooh sound through it rhymes with you through and it's like the o in boot through so sometimes when we talk about drive throughs， we're now actually using a different spelling this is actually the original spelling when we're talking about drive throughs we've actually changed the word we're now we're spelling it like this to show the pronunciation， but in general we're still using the word through with the spelling thr ough， so that's the third way to pronounce ough like a ooh sound now let's look at some other ways to pronounce ough ough okay so let's look at the third common way of pronouncing ough we have here the word tough enough rough so in this case ough has an f sound you wouldn't know this because there is no f in the spelling， but in the pronunciation there is an f so we pronounce this like f up， so it has a short vowel at the beginning and it sounds like the word cuff if you look at my sleeve this part of my sleeve is called a cuff these words all have that up pronunciation like cuff so again it might be helpful to write down the pronunciation of this word if it helps you remember it so for example instead of ough i might write down tuff that's how i would pronounce it tough tough means difficult when something is tough it is difficult tough is a very common english word that you should know another important english word that has ough is enough， enough is used a lot we often talk about i don't have enough time i don't have enough money i don't have enough laundry whatever， you can think of many examples with enough and when we talk about enough， we're talking about the quantity of something do we have a good amount of quantity or not enough of something so ough again is pronounced like enough we have another word here rough rough can it has different meanings in english it has an o u g h and it has this up sound to it rough means the opposite of smooth so if you think about somebody's face for example if someone has a beard and you touch their face their face is rough because they have hair if someone has no hair on their face we can say it's very smooth so rough has different meanings in english this is one example of what rough means okay， so now let's look at another way to pronounce ough， i have here drought it takes me a moment sometimes to look at this word and to remember the pronunciation the word is drought drought， so， and then we have plow drought and plow these words have an ow sound in them similar to the word cow ow， so we have drought and plow so what do these words mean well drought is an important word it means there's not enough rain for a period of time so if there's no rain and there's a month or two months that goes by without rain we call that a drought this is becoming an important word nowadays because of global warming and many countries now have droughts so it's a good word to know plow is a farming word when we use a plow it's a type of machine we use on farmland we call that a plow and we can also use this as a verb we plow the land so if you are interested in farming or in agriculture this might be a good word to know okay， so we've done up and ow now let's look at the last pronunciation， we're going to talk about today and that is off like in cough， so cough again there's this f sound， but we don't see it in the spelling when we cough we go that's a cough so again you have ough， but the pronunciation is like off cough， so just to remind you we've just looked at six different pronunciations of ough， i've picked some very common words that have ough in them because i think you should focus on the common words first， so， that is one of my tips learn the common key words in english with ough there are many ough words in english， but we don't use some of them， so you don't need to to learn them for example tough it's a word we use a lot i recommend learning this word we have here another word sloth， i don't think i have ever used this word in my life， so even though it exists i understand the meaning i don't actually use this word frequently， so focus on the ough words that you will use in your everyday life and memorize the pronunciation of of those how will you know how to pronounce these words well， one recommendation is you can always google the pronunciation if you type in the word in google and pronunciation you can actually see how to say these words， so， that's one recommendation especially， we've covered some words here， but maybe you come across another word in the future， so that might be one way to help you my other tip is remember there are different ways to pronounce ough there are different ways， but i would say that there are six very important pronunciations there are nine in total depending on who you talk to， but i would say six are very important and very common examples of pronunciation again i am a north american my accent is north american so this might be a little bit different in england， but from a north american pronunciation perspective there are six major pronunciations of ough okay， so we've covered a lot in this video now i'd like to invite you to come check out our
