Exercise 4-11 :

Voiced and Unvoiced Sounds with T

This exercise is for the practice of the difference between words that end in either a vowel or a voiced consonant,

which means that the vowel is lengthened or doubled.

Therefore, these words are on a much larger, longer stairstep.

Words that end in an unvoiced consonant are on a smaller, shorter stairstep.

This occurs whether the vowel in question is tense or lax.
