Pronunciation & Spelling
The words all end in '-ive' but have different vowel sounds. 'Active' (/ˈæk.tɪv/) and 'captive' (/ˈkæp.tɪv/) have the same stressed vowel /æ/ but different following consonants, so they do not rhyme. Words like 'passive', 'positive', 'negative', 'creative', 'native' have different stressed vowels, so they are not rhymes either. Be careful not to assume rhyme from spelling alone.
