Common Mispronunciations of Consists
Not KON-sists
Push the voice into the second syllable, SISTS. Verbs built on con- almost always carry their weight after the prefix.
Not kuhn-SIS-tuhs
Three s sounds crowd into the ending, and all of them belong: s, t, s. Say SISTS as a single cluster rather than opening an extra syllable.
Tip: Practise the ending alone: ists, as in lists and fists, with a k and a weak uhn in front.
