Today’s question is a common one from a client: What different ways can the letter G be pronounced?
Pronounce the letter “G” as a “J” sound if the letter “G” is followed by the letters “E”, “I”, or “Y”.
This is true in the words gem, gin, gym, judge, cage, and edge.
Pronounce the letter “G” as a “G” sound, if the letter “G” is followed by the letters “A”, “O”, or “U”.
This is true in the words game, gone, and gun.
Keep in mind this is a general rule and there are always exceptions to spelling rules in English.
