English, repeating sound patterns
Tutoring English, the way words sound is important. The tutor mentions a pattern he’s noticed.
Lately repeating sounds, but with different meanings, have caught my attention, such as the following:
She walked along a long building.
Here’s another example:
The knights sat around a round table.
In each pattern, the first time the sounds mean a preposition; the second, an article and adjective. One could stretch for another example:
He saw past the door, which was ajar, a jar.
Neat, eh?
