🔊 /w/ and /v/ Sounds — Telaffuz
/w/ ve /v/ Farkı

✍️ Pratik Sorular
Soru 1: “Sosyal medyanın olumlu bir etkisi nedir?” sorusunu İngilizce cevaplayın.
Cevap: “In my opinion, one positive effect of social media is that it connects people around the world. Because of social media, we can stay in touch with friends and family even if they live in different countries.”
Soru 2: “because” ve “because of” arasındaki farkı örneklerle açıklayın.
Cevap:
because + cümle (özne + fiil): I use the internet because it helps me learn new things.
because of + isim/isim öbeği: I use the internet because of its educational benefits.
İkisi de “çünkü/nedeniyle” anlamına gelir ama yapıları farklıdır.

I prefer using a laptop to using a tablet because it has a bigger keyboard.
I‘d rather use a laptop than a tablet for doing homework.

Cevap:
/w/ — Dudaklar yuvarlak, dişler temas etmez: wide /waɪd/
