Here's why:
* The schwa sound (ə) is a very common, unstressed vowel sound in English. It's often described as a short "uh" sound.
* In "angels", the e at the end of the word is silent and unstressed. This means it takes on the schwa sound.
Therefore, the word "angels" sounds like:
* AYN-jəlz (with the schwa sound occurring in the second syllable)
