The Schwa
Any vowel a, e, i, o and u, can use the schwa sound like a low tone short u sound. This is similar to the short u sound, but generally unstressed or low tone. The vowel in this context does not either make its usual short or long sounds. It is represented as an inverted e. Its symbol notation is /ə/. Let’s see some words where the schwa is used, along with its phonetic decoding.
The Bossy r
When the vowels a, e, i, o and u are followed by the consonant ‘r’ (ar, er, ir, or, ur), their sound is controlled by the ‘r’.
They neither make the short nor the long vowel sounds. Meaning: When a vowel is followed by the consonant r. the r changes the sound that the vowel usually would have made, into a completely new sound. Since the r dominates or controls the sound of the vowel, this process is sometimes referred to as the “Bossy r” or r- controlled vowels.
The vowels (a, e, i, o and u) are followed by an r making the letter combinations, (ar, er, ir or, ur). Let’s see the impact of r on these vowels:
Exceptions to r-controlled rule: When r is followed by another r the previous vowel is often short.
marry (short a);
ferry (short e);
hurry (short u).
