| xiǎoháir | xiǎoniǎor | fànguǎnr | xiāngshuǐr |
| 小孩儿 | 小鸟儿 | 饭馆儿 | 香水儿 |

拼音规则（4）：隔音符号
Rules of Pinyin(4): syllable-dividing mark
a、o、e 开头的音节连接在其它音节后面时，为了避免音节的界限发生混淆，用隔音符号（‘）隔开，例如pí’ǎo（皮袄）
When a syllable beginning with a, o or e follows another syllable, the syllable-dividing mark(’) is used to separate the two syllables, for example, pí’ǎo（皮袄, fur-lined jacket）.

Listen to the recording and read after it. Pay attention to the differences between the words with and without the syllable-dividing mark.

| jiē | jī‘è | jiāng | jī’áng |
| to receive | hungry | will, shall | excited adn impassioned |
| fānàn | fān’àn | fǎngǎn | fāng’àn |
| to launch an attack | to reverse a verdict | to loathe | work plan |
