Note 1: The pronunciation depends on the ‘sound’ of the next word. It doesn’t matter which letter has been used in the beginning, what matters is how the word sounds/begins when you say it. For ex- The (thee) umbrella The (thuh) union The (thee) hour The (thuh) hospital Note 2: Sometimes to emphasise on a certain word, we pronounce ‘the’ as ‘thee’ regardless of the sound the following word has. For ex- I met Shahrukh Khan yesterday, Thee Shahrukh Khan. #englishlearning #advancedenglish #englishlesson #speakenglish #spokenenglish #teachersofinstagram #onlineenglish #learningenglish #communicationskills #learningenglishonline #englishgrammar #englishtohindi
