Season 3 moves from single sounds to words in motion: endings, syllables, stress and rhythm. We begin with the most frequent ending in English, the plural -s. In your variety it has three sounds: an S in "cats", a Z in "dogs", and a short "iz" in "buses". What you will learn: • The three plural sounds and what happens to them • "-es" said as spelled • S for Z after voiced sounds • The heavy clusters: texts, months, desks • Numbers and measure words without -s • Plural uncount nouns: a grammar choice • "one of my friend" and other singular forms • Practice: decode the sentence • Listening strategies • Self-check questions to test your ear Level: B1–B2. Self-study: listen, then take the quizzes. Audio voiced with AI from an original script by Dr. Rashmi R Nair.
