Words that change in the middle
The middle of a word can shift from form to form, and only some of that shows in writing.
- Called
- astmevaheldus
- consonant gradation in an English grammar book
What it is for
- One kind swaps consonants, and you can see it on the page
- The other is a longer or shorter sound the spelling hides
- Which words do it is something you learn word by word
Watch out
The app can only see spelling, so it tells you about the written changes and stays quiet about the rest. A word can change out loud and look identical on the page.
