when i check the pronunciation of words in dictionaries , the letter "S" behaves so strangely that it is often pronounced as "Z".
for example, it is pronounced as "Z" in the words "because" and "please" , "cause", "is", "was", etc
for "course", "class", it is "S".
are there any general rules on determining in what cases it is going to be "Z" ?
if possible, please give me some rules on when to pronounce it as "Z" when the letter is used to represent plural.
