Common Mispronunciations of Sewn
Not SYOON
Spelling pulls learners towards the ew of new. In sew and sewn that pair is read as a plain oh, an old spelling the sound left behind.
Not SEE-uhn
The ew stands for a single vowel sound, not two, so there is nothing to say between the oh and the n.
Tip: Sewn and sown, the past participle of sow, are said identically.
