Pronunciation Rule.

How are the following words pronounced: /I/ or /ai/?

WRITE                        WRITTEN


RIDE                           RIDDEN





. Answer:



Write and ride: /ai/


Written  and   ridden: /I/    Why? Because, in pronunciation,  it's not possible to have a dipthong before double consonant.
