    Default Pronunciation of "is" within a sentence.

    Hi,

    Please how "is" is pronounced within a sentence.

    For example: "He is a teacher."


    Thanks.

    Default Re: Pronunciation of "is" within a sentence.

    It is pronounced /ɪz/ if the full form is used. In normal conversation it is almost always contracted to /z/.
