Hi,

A small question on the pronounciation of the word 'bode'

It's pronounced /boud/ right?
So my question is how does its pronounciation change when we add -s?

/boudz/ or /boudiz/?

Thanks.

Hello!
"bode" is pronounced [bowd], so with an -s, it will be [bowdz]

Well, I don't think it is an exception, so I will definitely say /boudz/. The past tense is /boudid/.
