Today I want to talk about the word “says” in American English.
I’ve noticed many students pronounce the word “says” incorrectly. I often hear student pronounce SAYS like “say-z” This is a common mistake, and easy to fix.
The reason this may be confusing is that the word SAY is pronounced SAY SAY. But the word SAYS is pronounced SAYS.
Let’s practice the correct pronunciation together. SAYS SAYS SAYS SAYS SAYS SAYS.
Good, now let’s practices some sentences together. Say these aloud with me.
It says turn left at the next stoplight.
He says he doesn’t know how to get there.
She says she doesn’t want to go.
My teacher says I need to practice pronunciation.
You can instantly improve your English and sound more like a native speaker by practicing and speaking the word SAYS correctly.
When you master American English pronunciation, you can speak with confidence knowing that your pronunciation is accurate and listeners will understand you.
