发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with the '-ly' suffix and share a similar '-ently' spelling chunk. However, their pronunciations differ in the stressed vowel and consonant cluster. In 'presently' the stress is on the first syllable /prɛzəntli/, while these words stress on other syllables and have /nt/ instead of /zənt/. None fully rhyme with 'presently'.
