Pronunciation & Spelling
Although all these words share the spelling -tor and the ending sound /tɚ/, their stressed vowels differ (e.g., /æ/ in actor, factor, tractor; /ɛ/ in director; /ʌ/ in conductor; /ɑ/ in monitor and doctor). None of them rhyme perfectly with doctor because the stressed syllable onset and coda vary. Use this set to practice the common -tor ending.
