Silent p (cupboard, psychology)
Cupboard
Say: KUB-erd. A cabinet with shelves and doors.
The plates are kept in the kitchen cupboard.
Raspberry
Say: RAAZ-bree. A small, soft red berry.
Meera chose raspberry ice cream at the village fair.
Psychology
Say: sy-KOL-uh-jee. The study of the mind.
Rohan wants to study psychology in college.
Remember: Ps at the start of a word: the p is silent (psychology). Cupboard looks like cup + board, but we say KUB-erd. The p hides.
