Question



The correct transcription of the word ‘classes’ is

A.

/klɑːsɪz/

B.

/klɑsɪdz/

C.

/klesɪdz/

D.

/klɑsɪDz/

Correct option is A


The transcription /klɑːsɪz/ represents the pronunciation of "classes" in British English, where:
· /klɑː/: The "a" is a long vowel sound.
· /sɪz/: The plural "-es" is pronounced with a voiced /z/ sound preceded by a short "i."
The phonetic structure adheres to the rules of vowel length and voiced consonants in British English.
Information Booster:
1. British English uses a long "a" sound in "classes."
2. The ending "-es" in plural forms often uses /ɪz/.
3. Voiced sounds (/z/) occur after voiced or sibilant endings.
4. Phonetic transcription helps in accent training.
5. Transcriptions vary between dialects, e.g., British and American English.
