Words ending with -cious and -tious
Aaaah, it’s a beautiful day, and I’m off to see my friends the ‘CHUS’ family.
The ‘CHUS’ sound is used for descriptive words and can be spelt two ways.
There is the C-I-O-U-S side of the family…
Good morning, Suspicious, nothing to worry about here.
And Unconscious - asleep, as always, bless him!
And here is the T-I-O-U-S side of the family
Morning, Ambitious!
And Infectious. Errr, still not feeling so good?
Aaargghhhhh!
