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.
- The bear shared a rare pair of chairs with his mare.
- Claire carefully prepared her hair for the fair.
- We stared at the scary stairs over there.
