Are the words cheese and movie a double final consonant?

Let's break down why the words "cheese" and "movie" aren't considered to have a double final consonant:

* Double Final Consonant: This term typically refers to a word where the final sound is represented by two consecutive letters, like "tell," "ball," "class," etc.

* "Cheese": The final sound is "s," represented by a single letter. Although it's a "double" consonant sound, it's written with a single "s".

* "Movie": The final sound is a "v" sound, represented by a single letter "e".

In conclusion, neither "cheese" nor "movie" have double final consonants because their final sounds are represented by only one letter each.
