Context & Register
[object Object]
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the ending sound /tʃɚ/ with 'mature', but note that 'mature' is stressed on the second syllable (/məˈtʃʊr/), while all these pattern words are stressed on the first syllable. Therefore they are not perfect rhymes. Also, be cautious of words like 'mature' spelled with '-ure' but pronounced differently, e.g., 'pure' (/pjʊr/).
