How do you pronounce the word before a beginning with vowel and consonant?

You're asking about the pronunciation of the word "before" when it's followed by a word starting with a vowel or a consonant.

The pronunciation of "before" remains the same regardless of the following word. It is always pronounced:

* bɪˈfɔːr

The stress is on the first syllable, "be."

Example:

* Before a storm (vowel sound)

* Before dinner (consonant sound)

The word following "before" doesn't influence the pronunciation.
