In English, the ique ending is pronounced with a distinctive /eek/ sound. These words are commonly borrowed from French and often describe objects, qualities, or people.
Here are two examples:
antique – That mahogany cupboard is an antique.
technique – We all admired the wood-carver's technique.
Understanding the ique pattern can help you spell and use these unique words.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
