Pronunciation of the s letter at the end of words when proceed by a vowel.
Hello, everyone!
Here's a quick question for y'all:
Sometimes, the s letter at the end of some words is proceeded by a vowel. My question is: should I pronounce it as an "s" or as a "z"?
For example: "in my arms again". Is it "armsagain" or "armzagain"? I'm aware that, by itself, the s should be pronounced simply as an s.
