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 mother's brother is an actor and a teacher.
- Better weather brings better butter to the farmer's market.
- The doctor's order was to measure the patient's temperature.
