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?

Let's not get into scone and scone, else I'll refer you back to Queen's English where it's pronounced 'on' not 'own'.
Is it any wonder people, for whom English is not their first language, struggle with the nuances of the language when many for whom it is their first or only language also struggle with it.

Shone, gone, scone. All sound the same.

Not understanding all this... 'one rhymes with gun' twaddle
I'm with you on that one rhymes with gone, because it does lol.
Surely you know how accents work though?
They're not all the same so different regions will pronounce things differently.

@Thethingswedoforlove

Neither/ it rhymes with gone

This

This is blowing my mind. Maybe an accent thing. But for me some of these words just do not rhyme.

The sun shone rhymes with con for me

If you mean this as in "the sun shone", then it rhymes with "gone"

Very boring thread lol 😆

Rhymes with On , surely

Shone rhymes with zone for me.

I think this is a matter of different accents.

@SleepingStandingUp

Neither.

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

This is correct

Depends on the accent dousnt it !

This is correct

Accents aren't correct or incorrect, they are just different from each other.

I can’t cope with people thinking ‘horn’ and ‘corn’ rhyme with ‘dawn’

Well they do in pretty much all of England (and Wales?). I can cope perfectly well with the fact that in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland those words don't rhyme. Surely you must have heard English people speak?

I find it so weird that so many people are unaware of these differences in pronunciation between accents which they presumably hear really really often . I guess they just don't pay attention to such things!

@SleepingStandingUp

Neither.

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

This.

I haven't RTFT so sorry if this has already been covered, but are phonics taught differently then if the local accent isn't the standard RP?

Ie, some are saying that 'aw' and 'or' aren't pronounced the same, ie in Dawn and Corn. But they are taught as the same sound in phonics. So what happens then??

I think that is largely how the human brain works. We screen out differences that don’t change meanings.

@Musicalmaestro

It rhymes with con

Yes, this.

@SleepingStandingUp

Neither.

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

^ this

Neither. It rhymes with None. The sun does not shawns or shones

It rhymes with neither
Dawn = Dorn
Zone = Zown
Shone = Sh on

I am Scottish and to me shone definetly does not rhyme with zone or one as others have suggested. And Dawn definetly does not rhyme with corn! Some of these answers are truly weird in my dialect. I pronounce Shone like the male name shaun which rymes with Dawn. Your daughter is right IMO

Shown is a different word to shone. 😃

It sounds like shon the e doesn't change to oh it stays aw in this case
