Another Sound for G

English Phonics Rules

Last month we learn about another sound for c. Now we will talk about another sound for g. When g is followed by a, o or u, it says its hard ‘guh’ sound. But when g is followed by i or e, it usually has the soft sound of j. The problem with g is that it is not 100%. But most often g will follow this rule.
