is how do I pronounce words that end in the F sound when we make them plural and

to do this what we're going to do is for spelling let's talk about spelling first

we're going to change the letter F to a V and then we're going to add es so for

spelling F changes to V and then we add the es for pronunciation we are going to

change from the F that we make by gently biting either the inside or the outside

of the bottom lip while the air keeps moving out and the voice box is not on

we're going to change that sound to the voiced sound which is the V sound to do

that your mouth is the same gently biting the inside or the outside of your

bottom lip and then the air is going to move out while your voice box is on V so

we have F and V and then you're going to add that Z sound and to do this the tip of

your tongue is either high in your mouth behind your top teeth or slightly

pointing down it is not touching your teeth at all air continues to move out

while you're a voice box is on so we have elf

elves calf calves and we don't pronounce the L sound and calf calf calves and we

don't pronounce the L sound in calves nice knives and again another silent

letter we don't pronounce the K knife knives loaf loaves loaf loaves shelf

--shelves --shelf --shelves wolf wolves wolf wolves and then wife wives

wife wives I don't have a sentence but I'm sure all of you out there do
