Nicole, how do you combine the r's
She told you. 1r + 3r = 4r.
...
and then since the 's' isn't a like term, it stays the way it is.
To combine the letter "r" in a word, you can use a process called consonant blending or consonant cluster. In English, there are several ways to combine the "r" sound with other consonant sounds. Here are a few common examples:
1. "br" blend: This is when the "b" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Some examples include "brown," "brother," and "break."
2. "cr" blend: This is when the "c" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Examples include "cry," "crop," and "crowd."
3. "dr" blend: This is when the "d" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Examples include "drive," "drop," and "dream."
4. "fr" blend: This is when the "f" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Examples include "frame," "friend," and "frozen."
5. "gr" blend: This is when the "g" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Examples include "green," "grow," and "gray."
6. "pr" blend: This is when the "p" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Examples include "print," "pride," and "problem."
7. "tr" blend: This is when the "t" sound is paired with the "r" sound. Examples include "train," "true," and "try."
Combining consonant sounds requires practice and familiarity with the sounds and the contexts in which they occur in words. By recognizing the different "r" blends and pronouncing each consonant sound clearly, you can successfully combine the letter "r" with other consonants.
