Pairs in context
Minimal pairs inside sentences
Hearing a pair in isolation is one thing — keeping the contrast in connected speech is harder.
Read these sentences aloud. Each puts a target-word next to its confusable twin. Don't drop the contrast.
- Jane and Jake came to play games at the lake today.
- The painters paid for the eight paintings in the gallery.
- Take the train to the station and wait for the afternoon.
