Nguyễn Kim Oanh · Accepted Answer

Phát âm là /ɪz/ (Các từ kết thúc bằng âm xuýt: /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /dʒ/):

finishes: kết thúc bằng âm /ʃ/ $\rightarrow$ /'fɪnɪʃɪz/

watches: kết thúc bằng âm /tʃ/ $\rightarrow$ /'wɒtʃɪz/

washes: kết thúc bằng âm /ʃ/ $\rightarrow$ /'wɒʃɪz/

Phát âm là /s/ (Các từ kết thúc bằng âm vô thanh: /p/, /t/, /k/, /f/, /θ/):

wants: kết thúc bằng âm /t/ $\rightarrow$ /wɒnts/

Phát âm là /z/ (Các trường hợp còn lại - âm hữu thanh):

Ví dụ: plays, cleans, bags...

To determine which word has the -es part pronounced differently from the others, we can analyze the IPA notation for each word:

1. **finishes**: ˈfɪnɪʃɪz
   - The -es is pronounced as /ɪz/.
   
2. **watches**: ˈwɑʧɪz
   - The -es is pronounced as /ɪz/.
   
3. **washes**: ˈwɑʃɪz
   - The -es is pronounced as /ɪz/.
   
4. **wants**: wɔnts
   - This word does not have the -es ending, so it does not fit into the comparison with the others.

Based on this analysis, the words "finishes," "watches," and "washes" all have the -es pronounced as /ɪz/. The word "wants" does not have an -es ending at all, so it is pronounced differently in that regard.

Therefore, the answer is that **wants** is the word with the -es part pronounced different from the others (because it does not contain -es at all).
