A minimal pair is a pair of words which differ only in one sound.
They are a great way to improve pronunciation.
Here are some examples.
1, ankle / uncle
2, ship / sheep
3, space / spice
4, cap / cape
5, man / men
6, pitch / peach
7, golf / gulf
8, hat / heart
9, celery / salary
10, full / fool
Choose one number
1, Can you identify the vowel sounds?
2, Can you think of another word with that sound?
Celery: head, bread, guest
3, Can you explain how the two are different in each number? (or similar)
example: celery is a vegetable whereas a salary is the money you earn. Both are good for you.
4, Can you make a sentence in the first conditional with each pair?
example: If I eat celery, will you increase my salary?
