Homework Help: Language

Posted by Hannah Montana1997 on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 11:35pm.

The word "slippery" almost feels slippery! This may have to do with the blending of "s" and "I" so that the word glides or slips out of your mouth. Many English words seem to imitate their meaning. Try to record at least six such words.
