Pronunciation Differences:

    • Eyes: /aɪz/ – The "ey" sounds like the long "i" vowel, similar to "my" or "sky".

    • Ice: /aɪs/ – The "i" also has the long "i" sound, but "ice" is pronounced with a soft "s" at the end, similar to "nice".

Key Points:

    • Eyes refers to the organs of sight.

    • Ice refers to frozen water, typically used to cool drinks or in cold environments.

While both words contain the "i" vowel sound, the key difference lies in the final consonants: eyes ends with a "z" sound, while ice ends with an "s" sound.
