Hi there!
I have got a problem pronouncing the words that beign with the suffix "pre".
The problem is, there are two ways to pronounce "pre" and I dont know when to pronounce "pre"
as in "previous"
or
as in "precious"
Is is possible to learn some kind of rule to know how to pronounce the suffix "pre" in newely encountered words? Can it be seen by looking at consonants or vovels?
I know that words which start with " pre- " are all pronounced as "previous".
Cheers,
Tom
