发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words with the spelling ending -tive (active, native, positive, relative, objective) share the same final sound /tɪv/, but they are not true rhymes with substantive (/ˈsʌbstəntɪv/) because the primary stress falls earlier in these words. Be careful with substantial (/səbˈstænʃəl/), a lookalike that starts with substan- but ends with /ʃəl/ and has stress on the second syllable.
