How Do You Spell PHRASED?

Pronunciation: [fɹˈe͡ɪzd] (IPA)

The word "phrased" is spelled with a silent "h" and pronounced as /freɪzd/. The "ph" combination in English is often used to represent the sound /f/ as in the word "phone." However, in this case, it represents the consonant blend /fr/ as in "fragment." The "e" at the end of the word indicates that the vowel sound in the word is a long "a" sound. In English, many words have silent letters and irregular spellings, which can make it difficult for non-native speakers to learn the language.
