Watch: Using 'ch' instead of 'sh'
Some words that have the sound 'sh' are spelt with 'ch'. These include:
- brochure
- parachute
- chalet
- machine
Can you think of any more?
Hello and welcome to 'What you spell is what you get!'
So, contestant number one.
Your word is 'chef'.
C-H-E-F
That's correct!
And now, contestant number 2.
Your word is 'parachute'.
I'm afraid that is incorrect!
It's that pesky 'SH' sound that's causing you problems.
It's spelt with a C-H, in words like brochure and machine.
So no parachute for you.
Join us next week on 'What you spell is what you get'.
