What are the words that rhyme? "engraved" and "engraved" and "pilgr" and "border", "complete" and "punishab" finally "passages" and "damages"

Answer (1)

Rhyming words are words that have the same ending sound. Let's look at each of the pairs:

"engraved" and "engraved": These two words are identical and therefore rhyme with each other perfectly. When a word is repeated, it's called a perfect rhyme.

"pilgr" and "border": The word "pilgr" seems incomplete, typically referring to "pilgrim." Neither "pilgr" nor "pilgrim" rhymes with "border." "Border" rhymes with words like "order" or "hoarder."

"complete" and "punishab": "Complete" typically rhymes with words like "neat" or "discrete." "Punishab" seems to be an incomplete form of "punishable," which does not rhyme with "complete." Instead, "punishable" could rhyme with "perishable."

"passages" and "damages": These words do rhyme with each other because they both end with the sound "-ages." They share the same vowel sound and ending consonant sound, making them a good pair of rhyming words.


Overall, it is important to listen to the sounds at the end of the words to determine if they rhyme. Rhyming is often used in poetry and songs to create a rhythm or musical quality. Understanding rhymes can help you appreciate these forms of art more and even create your own poems or lyrics!
