Common mistakes of coerced pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place stress incorrectly, saying "coerced" as /kəʊˈɜːrst/ instead of /kəʊˈɜːrsd/. Tip: Remember to stress the second syllable, as indicated by the primary stress mark (ˈ).
- Vowel confusion: Incorrectly pronouncing the vowel sound, saying "coerced" with an "a" sound, like /kæˈɜːrst/. Tip: Focus on the "oe" producing the /ɔɪ/ sound, as in /kəʊ/.
- Missing final sound: Some may drop the final "d," pronouncing "coerced" as /kəʊˈɜːrs/. Tip: Ensure to pronounce the final "d" clearly, as it is crucial for correct pronunciation.
- Overemphasis on "c": Learners might stress the initial "c," saying "coerced" as /ˈkɔɪərsd/. Tip: Keep the "c" soft and not overly stressed to achieve the correct pronunciation.
- Incorrect syllable count: Some may mistakenly pronounce "coerced" as a three-syllable word, like /kəʊəˈɜːrsd/. Tip: Remember it has only two syllables, focusing on the correct syllable division.
