If you're a non-native English speaker, learning how to correctly pronounce the word "caught" is important. Pronouncing it correctly can help you improve your English speaking skills and make you more confident in conversations.
Start by saying "c" as in the letter "c" and then say "aw" as if you're saying "o" in "or" and "t" as in "tea". Put them together and you'll get the correct pronunciation of "caught". Keep in mind that the letter "a" should be short and the letter "u" should be almost non-existent.
It is important not to confuse "caught" with other words that sound similar like "cot" or "court". The word "cot" is pronounced as "cah-t" and the word "court" is pronounced as "kaw-t".
To practice, try repeating the word "caught" out loud multiple times. Listen to how native English speakers pronounce the word. Use resources like YouTube videos and online audio to listen to how the word is spoken and imitate it.
If you practice enough, you'll be able to pronounce "caught" correctly in no time. You can also practice with a native English speaker or an English tutor to get immediate feedback on how you are pronouncing the word.
