Brazilian Portuguese learners of English tend to mispronounce and misperceive ‘final s’ in plural forms (nouns) and third person singular forms (in the present simple tense) as well as ‘final ed’ in simple past forms of regular verbs. Another common difficulty is choosing between “a” or “an”. In fact, there are simple phonological rules that can help learners overcome such difficulties. Mark (T) for the true statements and (F) for the false ones.

( ) The words moved, laughed, played, and rained have the same final sound.

( ) The words moved, laughed, hated, and shaked have two syllables.

( ) Considering the use of the indefinite article (a, an), it is correct to say: a car, a house, a dog, a one-eyed man, a university, an umbrella, and, an apple.

( ) The words cats, umbrellas, candles, and birds have the same final sound.

( ) The words books, chiefs, tops, and fakes have the same final sound.

Mark the alternative which contains the CORRECT sequence from the first to the last propositions.
