T at the end: stopped T (tongue goes to the roof of the mouth, but no sound or very small sound). Americans also reduce T’s through the stopped T sound. We use this when a word ends in a vowel + T or NT as in great, budget, or document and when this is the last word in a phrase or sentence. To make this sound, put your tongue in the T position, but do not make the T. Simply stop the sound. Like the T and N rules, Americans use the stopped T all the time, especially in common expressions like that’s great! However, a light T sound is used when needing to be clear.
