Through sounds like stew but is spelled differently.
The word "through" (thru) is probably unique in its prounciation of -ough. Other English words include various sounds for these letters based on their language of origin. Examples : "oh" (dough, thorough), "ow" (bough), "awf" (cough), as well as the familiar "uff" (tough).
Only for some words. The OU in grouch has the OW sound as in couch and pouch. The letters OUGH can have 4 different sounds: In dough, it is the long O (oh) as in though and thorough. In cough, it is the AW sound as in trough. In rough, it is the short U sound as in tough and slough. Only in bough (bow) and plough (plow) does it have the same OW sound as grouch.
Sound refers to the particular auditory effect that is produced by a given effect.
The ending '-ough' can sound two different ways. It can sound like an 'o' ending, such as in:doughthoughthrough (u sound)Or it can have an 'f' sound, like in:coughroughtough
