Give illustrations of the single consonant
after a long vowel. Make a list of the words containing silent letters,
including all digraphs. What letter does _true_ have which _truly_ does
not? Is _whole_ pronounced like _hole? wholly_ like _holy?_ What is the
difference between _clothes_ and _cloths?_ What sound has _a_ in _any_?
How do you remember that _i_ follows _e_ in _their?_ What rule applies in
the formation of _dying_? Point out two words or more in the above in
which we have a silent _a_ following two consonants to indicate a
preceding long vowel. Give cases of a digraph followed by a silent _e_.
(Note. Add silent _e_ to _past_ and make _paste_---long _a_.) Is the _i_
in _evil_ sounded? There were no _bears_ upon this island. Mention
another kind of _bear_. Observe the difference between _hardware_--
iron goods--and _hard wear,_ meaning tough usage. What is peculiar about
_soul? impossible? ecstasies? wrapped? deliverance? sign? except? shoes?
hunger? thrown? terror? island?_
V.
9. I decided to climb into a tree and sit there until the next day,
to think what death I should die.
