"I asked twice." fixed Not: fix-id But more like: fɪkst "She fixed it yesterday." "That's already fixed." mixed Not: mix-id But more like: mɪkst "It got mixed up in the wash." "The colours are mixed." Notice: no extra vowel at the end, just a clean stop. Pattern 2: –ks / –kts (next, risks, tasks) Learners often panic here and add vowels. British English does not. Everyday sentences you'll actually hear next Not: nekst-uh But more like: nekst "What's next?" "See you next week." risks Not: risk-iz But more like: rɪsks "There are always risks." "It's one of the risks you take." tasks Not: task-iz But more like: tɑːsks "I've got a few tasks to do." "Those tasks can wait."   "We asked the team to update the plan to show how they fixed the main bugs, and now the next set of tasks carries some risks." Quick practice (repeat after reading) "We asked the team to check the plan." → ɑːskt "She fixed the main issue before lunch." → fɪkst "The next steps are clear." → nekst "Those tasks need prioritising." → tɑːsks "All projects have risks to consider." → rɪsks Repeat slowly → normal → slightly faster than comfortable.
