7 Ways to Say "OUGH"

It's a pity that English is not phonetic! In some languages,
you can look at a word and know immediately how to pronounce
it. But in English you need to be a little more careful.

Take the letters "ough", for example. They occur in many
words, but they do not always sound the same.

1. Though (like o in go)

2. Through (like oo in too)

3. Cough (like off in offer)

4. Rough (like uff in suffer)

5. Plough (like ow in flower)

6. Ought (like aw in saw)

7. Borough (like a in above)
