Common Mispronunciations of Coming
Not KOH-ming
Come keeps its uh when ing arrives, so the o here says nothing like its own letter name. English spells this sound with an o in come, son, love and month.
Not KAH-ming
An open ah gives calming without its l. Pull the vowel back to the centre of the mouth.
Tip: One m, because come already ends in a silent e. Running and shopping double their consonant; coming does not.
