English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (Dr GAB)
SILENT G
The general reader should note that letter g generates the sounds in words such as guard and age. The letter is, however, silent in words such as:
(g)naw
(g)nash
impu(g)n
diaphra(g)m
sin(g)
son(g)
sin(g)er.
So without articulating the g, can you try saying:
I’m a singer singing a song.
