How Do You Spell OUR?

The word "our" is a pronoun used to indicate that something belongs to us. Despite its simplicity, the spelling of this word is somewhat unique. The "ou" combination creates a diphthong - a vowel sound made up of two distinct sounds - in English called the "ow" sound (/aʊ/). This sound can be a bit tricky for non-native English speakers to pronounce correctly. However, with practice, it can easily become second nature to those learning the language. So next time you see the word "our," remember to pronounce it like "ow-er."
