Hello Elaine, I'm sorry to say that your voice message was not very clear. We do want to help you. It sounded hollow and muffled. Clarity was very poor.

Could you please record it once again?

Kitosdad.

Hi Elaine,

The preposition 'for' and the number 'four' are homophones or homonyms. This means they are pronounce the same way. As for the difference between three and tree, try to start the word 'three' with a 'th' and tree with a 't' sound.

Bill, maybe you can record the words 'three' and 'tree' for us too?

Thanks a lot,
Torsten
