| AR Sounds When AR is in the beginning or middle of a word, it can have 2 sounds, either Long A + R, as in air, or Open A + R, as in are. There is no good spelling rule, so you have to check the pronunciation of new words. In just a few words, AR sounds like OR (Long O + R), as in war, award and quarter. AR and OR Both AR and OR are used as endings or are part of endings (like -ard). As endings, they usually have a schwa sound, the same ur sound as above. The words forward, dollar, author and visitor have the same sound at the end. One common exception is the ending -ary which has a long A sound, as in voluntary or monetary. |

In corporation, the first OR is Long O + R and the second OR is ur. As stated above, the OR ending usually sounds like ur too. |
