Can you give me 10 examples of unstressed consonants?

It's important to understand that the concept of "unstressed consonant" is a bit of a simplification. Consonants themselves aren't inherently stressed or unstressed. It's the syllable they're part of that is stressed or unstressed.

However, consonants within unstressed syllables often become reduced or weakened in pronunciation. This is especially common in English.

Here are 10 examples of words where consonants are likely to be reduced in an unstressed syllable:

1. "about": The /t/ in the second syllable is often very faint or silent.

2. "again": The /g/ in the second syllable is often reduced to a glottal stop or even omitted.

3. "happen": The /p/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

4. "little": The /t/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

5. "garden": The /d/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

6. "button": The /t/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

7. "taken": The /k/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

8. "often": The /t/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

9. "listen": The /t/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

10. "written": The /t/ in the second syllable is often reduced or omitted.

Remember: This is a general trend and the level of reduction can vary depending on speaker, dialect, and context.

It's helpful to think about the sound of the word, not just the spelling, when trying to identify unstressed consonants.
