/Iə/
For this sound, the glide begins with a tongue position for /I/and moves in the direction of /ə/
Example: here, hear, beer, weird.
/eə/
To produce /eə/, the glide begins from the front of the tongue towards the centre. The shape of the
lips is neutral throughout the production. Some words with /eə/ may have a final ‘r’ in the spelling but the ‘r’ is not pronounced unless it is followed by another word beginning with a vowel.
Example: hair, hare, their, there, swear
/Ʊə/
The production of /Ʊə/ involves tongue glide from the position for the production of /Ʊ/ towards the position for the production of / /. The shape of the lips changes from rounded to neutral.

GRAMMAR – VERBS AND ADJECTIVES
Verb: a word or phrase that describes an action, condition or experience e.g. ‘run’, ‘look’ and ‘feel’. Adjective: a word that describes a noun e.g. ‘big’, ‘boring’, ‘pink’, ‘quick’ and ‘obvious’.
A. Find the adjective in the first sentence and fill in the blanks with the corresponding adverb.

- Her English is perfect. She speaks English .
- Our teacher is angry. She shouts .
- My neighbor is a loud speaker. He speaks .
Adjective and Verb Placement: Grammar Rules
Adjectives are usually placed before the nouns they modify, but when used with linking verbs, such as forms of to be or “sense” verbs, they are placed after the verb. The latter type of adjective is called a predicative adjective.
In these simple sentences, the adjectives wild, long, and furious follow forms of the verb to be:
“Sense” verbs, such as look, seem, appear, taste, sound, feel, or smell, also demand a verb + adjective word order:
When Verbs Become Adjectives: Participles
Perhaps you are feeling that the relationship between verbs and adjectives is complicated enough, but consider that verbs can also become adjectives by turning into participles. These are verb forms ending in -ing (present participles) or -ed or -en (past participles) that are used to modify nouns.
The present participle smiling is used as an adjective here, as is cute.
Washing is acting as an adjective for machine.
In both these instances, broken is an adjective modifying washing machine.
Here, the past participle engraved is acting as an adjective modifying watch.
