Pronounce 't' and 'ts' in the Prompt and Prompts

[fenglish]

Hi,

When pronounce the word "prompt", it is need to pronounce the 't' after the pronouncement of "promp".

But for the word "prompts", how to pronounce the 'ts' ? In this situation, I would pronounce "prompts" as "promps"(DO NOT pronounce the 't', just pronounce the 's').

Is that right? Please help!!

Thanks.

Hi 5jj,

Thanks for correction.

But I have a question regarding the "we" that you have added to almost every sentences, can we omit the "we" in all the above sentences? and why?

 

[Rover_KE]

We means 'all of us', 'you and I' or just 'people'.

It cannot be omitted.

Hi Rover,

I think you have misunderstood my question, I known "We means 'all of us', 'you and I' or just 'people'".

What I want to ask is Why the "we" cannot be omitted in the original sentences, Please tell me WHY?
