发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words rhyme with /ðens/: the stressed vowel /e/ is followed by /ns/. Hence, whence, and fence share the exact spelling chunk -ence; dense, sense, and tense have the same final sound but are spelled -nse. Beware the lookalike 'then' /ðen/, which appears at the start of 'thence' but lacks the final /s/.
