Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words end with the same vowel-consonant sound /ɔːs/ (British English; /ɔːrs/ in American English). Those containing 'course' (course, golf course, watercourse, concourse) share the spelling and final sound /kɔːs/. Coarse is a homophone of course but spelled differently, and source rhymes with these words but starts with /s/ and is spelled -ource. Do not confuse course with court /kɔːt/, which looks similar but ends with /t/.
