Grammar Note
可作及物或不及物动词
Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'spark' genuinely matches the stressed sound of 'sparkle' (/spɑrk/); it is not a full rhyme because 'sparkle' has an extra syllable /əl/. Words like 'crackle', 'twinkle', 'sprinkle', 'tickle', and 'wrinkle' all look similar because they end in '-kle', but their stressed vowels are different (/æ/ or /ɪ/), so they do not rhyme with 'sparkle'. Also note that in 'twinkle', 'sprinkle', and 'wrinkle', the letter 'n' makes the /ŋ/ sound before /k/, giving /ŋkəl/, not just /kəl/.
