Re: Sandhi(sound changes)
teaches (plural) /ch/ voiceless
If a word ends with /s/, /z/, /sh/, /ch/-chair, /zh/-the second "g" in garage, /dz/-(j), pronounce "s" or "-es" as /iz/. /iz/ is an additional syllable.
wanted(past) /t/ voiceless /d/ voiced
If a verb (mostly regular) ends in /t/, /d/ you add one more syllable /id/
we're (abbreviation) .. This is a contracted (spoken) form of we are.
