VERSE: GRAMMAR RULE
WHEN TWO VOWELS GO WALKING
THE FIRST ONE DOES THE TALKING.
Submitter comment:
I REMEMBER THIS FROM GRADE SCHOOL WHEN LEARNING THE PRONUNCIATION
OF LONG VOWELS IN WORDS SUCH AS "EAT" OR "MEAT." IN THESE WORDS,
THE TWO VOWELS "WALKING" ARE "EA," AND THE ONE VOWEL "TALKING" IS
THE "E" WHICH IS PRONOUNCED WITH ITS HARD SOUND WHICH IS THE SAME
AS ITS "NAME."
Where learned: MICHIGAN ; DETROIT
