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.
- My friend Mike likes to ride his bike on Friday nights.
- I tried the white wine at the nice Italian dining place.
- Five tired tigers fight quietly behind the wildlife.
