Hard and Soft C Rules

In this video, Greg teaches the pronunciation of the letter C in English, focusing on when to use a hard C and when to use a soft C. He explains that a C followed by I, Y, or E is soft, like in 'city', 'cycle', and 'center'. In contrast, a C followed by other letters is hard, like in 'carrot', 'cold', and 'cup'. Greg also mentions exceptions, such as when C is followed by H, forming a CH sound. The video encourages viewers to remember simple words to apply these rules easily and invites them to engage by commenting and subscribing.
