Common Mispronunciations of End
Not AND
The vowel is the e of bed and sits higher in the mouth than the a of cat. Speakers who use one vowel for both make end and and sound alike.
Not EN
The d has to be released, however lightly. Dropping it leaves the opening of enter.
Tip: Ended and ending do earn an extra beat, because a d sits in front of the ending.
