pronunciation - How to pronounce "s" at end of word when next word starts with "s"
How do we pronounce "s" at the end of the word when the next word also starts with "s"? For example,
She has some apples: Do we need to add "s" after has and before some like "she has s some apples"?
He is single: Do we need to add "s" after is and before single like "he is s single"?
Answer
Has and is are pronounced with a terminal /z/ when they stand alone. In your example sentences, the /z/ disappears and there is only one /s/ sound joining both words.
