I'm John Russell today.

Let's explore the vowel sound, huh?

It's the sound of modal verbs.

Among many other important words to make the sound.

Your lips should be slightly rounded and relaxed.

Uh huh, Uh huh.

Your tongue should be relaxed and raised at the back of your mouth.

Uh, is a common sound in modal verbs.

You know, those auxiliary verbs that express ability or possibility they often have n o U L D spelling, as in could should Would Could should would.

But the vowel sound has two other common spelling patterns.

The first is the letters O as in good stood neighborhood.

Good stood neighborhood.

The second is the letter U.

As in push poll full push.

Paul full.

I'll end this video with a quiz in the following sentences.

Count how many times you can hear the sound right to our answer in the comments section of our website.

Would you like to read a good book?

That's all for today.
