English has three different pronunciations for- es & s when they are used as plural markers of nouns and singular present makers of verbs.

There are three different ways to pronounce the ' ed ' ending of regular verbs in the simple past tense: / Id / ,  / t / or  / d / .   The pronunciation depends on the sound at the end of the infinitive of the main verb and whether it is voiced or voiceless sound.

      The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is a literary prize founded in 1969, awarded each year for the best original novel, written in the English language and published in the UK. The winner of the Man Booker Prize is generally assured international renown and success; therefore, the prize is of great significance for the book trade.      The prize money awarded with the Booker Prize was originally £21,000, and was subsequently raised to £50,000 in 2002 under the sponsorship of the Man Group, making it one of the world's richest literary prizes.      In 1993, as part of the celebrations of 25 years of the prize, a so-called Booker of Bookers was awarded to Salman Rushdie for his novel Midnight’s Children , chosen as the best book to have won the prize in its first quarter of a century.

Diphthong- a sound formed by the combination of two vowels in a single syllable, in which the sound begins as one vowel and moves towards another.

           There are forty four sounds in English language. The forty four sounds are classified into twenty four consonants and twenty vowels. Of the twenty vowels, twelve are called monophthong or  pure vowels because they consist of a single sound and the rest are diphthongs because they are a combination of two vowels.
