Does shone rhyme with dawn or zone?

[youdialwetile]

DD has been told she's saying it wrong - may be both as used in different places?

Dawn.

Zone

Neither/ it rhymes with gone

Neither

Right

It rhymes with con

@Thethingswedoforlove

Neither/ it rhymes with gone

Is that kind of the same as dawn? More than some?

@Thethingswedoforlove

Neither/ it rhymes with gone

I meant more than zone

What? As in 'the sun shone'?
In my part of the country it rhymes with one/gone

One and gone don't rhyme for me. Opened a can of worms here

Neither.

Dawn, Horn, Lawn
Zone, Phone, Moan
Shone, Gone, One,

Dawn rhymes with lawn and fawn

Shone rhymes with gone, con, don.
Dawn rhymes with fawn, corn, worn.
Zone rhymes with cone, bone, phone.

I am not sure if it is different in other accents, but the way I read and pronounce them none of them rhyme together.

@Freecuthbert

Shone rhymes with gone, con, don. Dawn rhymes with fawn, corn, worn. Zone rhymes with cone, bone, phone.

I am not sure if it is different in other accents, but the way I read and pronounce them none of them rhyme together.

Yeah that's a better way. For me it rhymes with con etc but teacher says it's like zone...cone ...phone

They're completely different sounds OP.

Zone: own / cone / known / tone / flown

Shone: one / con / on / don /

Dawn: yawn / fawn / horn / corn

Some of the replies are really confusing me!

One and gone don't rhyme for me either. One rhymes with gun and gone rhymes with con. (And shone rhymes with gone/con.)

Yeah that's a better way. For me it rhymes with con etc but teacher says it's like zone...cone ...phone

Does she mean shown, as in “he was shown the way”?

@NumberTheory

Yeah that's a better way. For me it rhymes with con etc but teacher says it's like zone...cone ...phone

I did check that - it was def shone because it was about the sun shining in the past

Would the teacher be meaning shown?

"one" rhymes with "gun", not "gone".

Yeah that's a better way. For me it rhymes with con etc but teacher says it's like zone...cone ...phone

Your teacher is wrong. Are they British?

Where are you from, what is your accent? That may help.

Cross posted.
Anyway, it's a tricky situation for you OP!

Scottish but in America 20+ years. I can't put it down to USA pronunciation though because I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it like zone...cone...phone here or in the uk

Rhyming with zone is an Americanism, I think?

Here is DD’s proof:
dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/shone

There are the first sound buttons for UK and US sounds but then…

You can press the button down under the second entry that says “shone - American dictionary” and hear it rhymes exactly with “zone.”
