Como se puede ver, este sonido se produce en tres condiciones: a) Cuando la letra r está al comienzo de una palabra. Ejemplo: ropa b) Si la letra r está entre dos vocales debe escribirse doble r: rr. Ejemplo: arroz c) Si la letra r está entre consonante y vocal y al comienzo de una sílaba. Por tanto se excluye cuando la r está en medio de sílabas como: bra, cra, dra, fra, gra, pra, tra. Ejemplo: enriquecer. | As you can see, this sound is produced under three conditions: a) When the letter r is the beginning of a word. Example: ropa (clothes) b) If the letter r is between two vowels it must be written double-r: rr. Example: arroz (rice) c) If the letter r is between consonant and vowel and the beginning of a syllable. Therefore it is excluded when r is in the middle of syllables as: bra, cra, dra, fra, gra, pra, tra. Example: enriquecer (to enrich). |
