American English Pronunciation cloth vs. clothe vs. clothes

I recently received an email hi Rachel

I have a question concerning the

following three words in English cloth

clothes clothes could you explain the

difference between the pronunciation of

these three words thank you

gladly and I’m actually going to throw a

four thread into there the plural of

cloth so let’s start with cloth the

vowel sound is the aw as in law and the

th sound is unvoiced cloth the plural

can be pronounced two different ways the

first with an unvoiced ending cloths and

that is the sound which I already went

over in the blog months however it can

also be voiced at the end which would be

clogs this now if you add an e to make

the verb clothes you will notice that

the as in cloth now becomes the clothes

so the th is now voiced however it also

changes the vowel sound

the vowel is now the Oh as in no clothes

cloth clothes clothes which is the noun

of what we wear that can also be

pronounced two different ways the I

would say official pronunciation would

be clothes in which you have the O as an

O this is the voiced th ends ending

however it wouldn’t be unheard of to

drop the sound altogether clothes

clothes and then it becomes the exact

same pronunciate pronunciation as the

word clothes as in to shut to close the

door so the words are cloth off cloths

ah

or clothes clothes clothes Oh clothes Oh

or simply owes cloth cloths clothes

clothes
