Practice spelling with printable activities: ique words.
In English, the ique ending is pronounced with a distinctive /eek/ sound. These words are commonly borrowed from French and often describe objects, qualities, or people.
Here are two examples:
antique – That mahogany cupboard is an antique.
technique – We all admired the wood-carver's technique.
