How Do You Spell TION?
The spelling of the suffix "tion" follows a consistent sound pattern in English. The sound is represented by the IPA phonetic transcription symbol /ʃən/. This sound is made by putting the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth and pushing air out through your mouth with a hissing sound. Words such as "action," "nation," and "attention" all contain this sound and are spelled using the letters "tion." This consistency in spelling helps to make English easier to read and write for those learning the language.
