When do you pronounce the voiced "s" sound?

If you found any grammar mistakes feel free to correct them for me.

Do you usually pronounce "s" as "z" sound on the word "sentence","opulence","crabs".

It seems to be difficult for me since I always pronounce the voiceless "s" on these words. (I shouldn't of done that at the first time)

Here is a list of words ending with "z" sound

  • B: crabs, rubs
  • D: cards, words, rides, ends
  • G: rugs, bags, begs
  • L: deals calls, falls, hills
  • M: plums, dreams
  • N: fans, drains, runs, pens
  • NG: kings, belongs, sings
  • R: wears, cures
  • V: gloves, wives, shelves, drives
  • Y: plays, boys, says,
  • THE: clothes, bathes, breathes
  • VOWEL SOUNDS: sees, fleas
