7. Combining a Vowel with an Ending Consonant

In the previous lessons, we learned that we can combine a vowel with another vowel to form different finals.

We can also combine a vowel with an ending consonant to form different finals. There are two groups of ending consonants.

Notice the ending consonants in the first group (-m, -n, and -ng) are nasal sounds, and those in the second group (-p, -t, -k) are not.

We will focus on the finals with -m, -n and -ng in this lesson, and those with -p, -t and -k in the next lesson.

Before we move on, let’s first revise the vowels we have learned.

Listen and repeat.
