/ŭ/ as in umbrella |  |
 |
Most of the time the sound /ŭ/
is spelled with just the letter u. BUT: sometimes the sound /ŭ/ is spelled with o or ou |
Some examples:
|
|
|
| u as in umbrella | o as in oven | ou as in couple |
| under ugly umpire uncle until utter button drunk hungry lunch puppy sudden ...and many more |
love glove some son (of parents) done come month wonder among cover govern dozen other brother worry |
touch young double trouble country cousin courage flourish nourish rough tough enough ...and see Unit 29 for words ending in -ous |
 |

"I would like to thank you so much for this great website. I have always been ashamed of my spelling but after a few lessons I am already better. It is filling in all the gaps. Thanks."
