Minimal Pairs in English
A minimal pair is a group of words that differ from each other only in one sound. However, this difference brings about a change in meaning. For example, the words fill and till differ only in the first consonant sound but they mean different things.
pin /pɪn/ bin /bɪn/
rot /rɒt/ lot /lɒt/
thigh /θaj/ thy /ðaj/
zeal /ziːl/ seal /siːl/
