📚 Rules to Remember • Week 18

Rule 1 • Modals with Silent <l>

In would, could, should, letter l is silent, and ou represents short /ŏŏ/.

Rule 2 • Number Word Roots

once shares root with one; two retains silent w (like twelve, twenty); four has our (like pour).

Rule 3 • Pronunciation of <shall>

shall has short /ă/ and rhymes with pal, not with call or fall.

Rule 4 • Homophone Clarity

Distinguish for/four/fore, to/too/two, and wood/would.
