About the word list: Words ending in que

The letters que make the /k/ sound at the end of many English words, especially ones borrowed from French. You can see this in words like unique, antique, and boutique. It might look like a long ending, but it sounds just like /k/.

Even the word cheque, which is spelled differently in British English than in the US (check), follows the same pattern. Other examples include plaque and picturesque, where the /k/ sound is softer.

So, when you hear the /k/ sound at the end of a word that seems to have a French origin, it’s likely to end with que!

antique That mahogany cupboard is an antique.
unique The tower was a unique construction.
boutique I bought this dress at the new boutique.
picturesque The old cottage looked very picturesque.

mosque The mosque has a dome on the roof.
plaque A wall plaque shows where the famous explorer lived.
cheque British English spelling I'll pay for the goods by cheque.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries.
