When we talk about our daily school routines and duties, we add the suffix -s or -es to verbs for third-person singular subjects (he, she, it). In spoken English, this ending is pronounced in three distinct ways depending on the final sound of the base verb:
- /s/ sound: Used after voiceless sounds like /p/, /t/, /k/, /f/.
Examples: write → writes /s/, help → helps /s/. - /z/ sound: Used after voiced consonant sounds and all vowels like /b/, /d/, /g/, /l/, /m/, /n/, /r/, /v/.
Examples: read → reads /z/, clean → cleans /z/, attend → attends /z/. - /ɪz/ sound: Used after sibilant sounds like /s/, /z/, /ʃ/ (sh), /tʃ/ (ch), /dʒ/ (j). This adds an extra syllable.
Examples: watch → watches /ɪz/, wash → washes /ɪz/.
Recognising these differences helps our speech sound natural and smooth when describing a classmate's daily routine.
Every multi-syllable word in English has one primary stressed syllable that is spoken louder, longer, and with higher pitch. Stressing the correct syllable makes communication clear and authentic when we talk about responsibilities at school.
Notice the strong syllables in these school roles and duties:
- PRES-i-dent: The stress is on the first syllable.
- li-BRAR-i-an: The stress is on the second syllable.
- re-SPON-si-ble: The stress falls on the second syllable.
- mon-i-tor: The first syllable (MON-i-tor) receives the main beat.
When presenting your duties, keeping the stress on the correct syllable prevents misunderstandings and boosts fluency.
National days and school celebrations involve special announcements, poems, and ceremonies. The melody of our voice—called intonation—gives life to what we say:
- Rising Intonation (↗): Used in Yes/No questions and friendly check-ins.
Example: “Are you ready for the Republic Day ceremony?” (↗) - Falling Intonation (↘): Used in statements, commands, and Wh- questions.
Example: “The ceremony begins at nine o'clock.” (↘) - List Intonation: When listing responsibilities or celebration preparations, our voice rises on each item and falls on the final item.
Example: “We need flags (↗), posters (↗), and flowers (↘).”
Practising this natural rhythm makes your speech express respect, enthusiasm, and confidence during special events.
Good language learners investigate sound patterns like scientists. Look at the school activity words below and observe how their endings sound in natural speech:
- Group A (/s/): speaks, makes, counts
- Group B (/z/): listens, cleans, plays, prepares
- Group C (/ɪz/): raises, reaches, organizes
By observing and categorising sound data during listening activities, you can make fast, authentic choices in spoken dialogues about your school community and national festivals.
- /s/ sound: Used after voiceless sounds like /p/, /t/, /k/, /f/.
