What are some words that end in the I sound?

You're asking for words that end with the "I" sound, which is a bit tricky because spelling doesn't always match pronunciation. Let's break this down:

* Words ending in the letter "I": This is easy! Examples include:

* sky

* try

* cry

* buy

* lie

* Words ending in "Y" with an "I" sound: This is where things get a little tricky. "Y" can have an "I" sound or a "long E" sound. We need the "I" sound:

* happy

* funny

* busy

* carry

* story

* Words ending in "IE" with an "I" sound: Again, the "IE" combination can have different pronunciations, but we want the "I" sound:

* pie

* tie

* die

* lie (also listed above, as it can be spelled both ways)

* fire

* Words ending with other letter combinations that sound like "I":

* bee

* see

* tea

* tree

* knee

Remember, this is just a starting point. There are many other words with the "I" sound at the end. Let me know if you'd like to explore more specific categories!
