English Multigraph 'tion'

In this lesson, we are going to examine the multigraph 'tion' and its sound.

Multigraphs are a set of more than two letters that stand together and produce a new sound.

Multigraph tion
Name tion (pronounced /ˈtee ˈai ˈo ˈen/)
Common Sound(s) /ʃən/

The Multigraph 'tion'

Sound: /ʃən/

'ti' in 'tion' sounds /ʃ/, so 'tion' sounds /ʃən/. This suffix always comes at the end of simple words:

injection /ɪnˈdʒek.ʃən/

convention /kənˈven.ʃən/

addition /əˈdɪʃ.ən/

sanction /ˈsæŋkʃən/

revolution /ˌɹɛv.əˈl(j)uː.ʃən/
