Most Common Words: RIGHT 👉

The word, "right".

Let's get this right. Another content word --

Right. R consonant, AI diphthong, T. This ending T will be a stop T, if the  

next word begins with a consonant,  like in the phrase, "Right now." 

Also, it will usually be a stop T at the  end of a phrase like, "that's right." 

It will be a flap T if the next word  begins with a vowel or diphthong sound,  

like in the phrase, "right away".

This is because the t comes between two vowels. 

Remember, we're not talking about letters. The letter before the T here, is the H. 

That's a consonant letter, but  the sound is the AI diphthong. 

So the T does come between two vowels

or diphthongs in the phrase "right away".
