In these longer English words, the combination au is used to represent the /or/ sound at the start of a word. You can see this in examples like author, automatic, and audible. This particular spelling pattern helps distinguish other /or/ words with different spellings. Understanding the au rule is beneficial for both spelling and pronunciation, as it gives you a clearer idea of how to approach unfamiliar words. With regular practice, the au pattern will become a natural part of your language skills.
