How to pronounce every

The trap

It looks like ev-er-y, three syllables, but the middle e is dropped: EV-ree. The same happens in everything, everyone and everybody.

Tip. Say “ev”, then “ree”, with the v running straight into the r.

Say it in a sentence

1. I go running every morning. Practice
2. Every seat on the train was taken. Practice
