Review the following:

Often, the “T” sound can be left out of certain shorthand forms:

(a) Best, rest, test, contest, protest, invest, honest, request,
past, last, just, adjust, insist, consist, persist, exist, cost.
(b) Act, enact, fact, exact, project, affect, conduct,
product, adapt, adopt, evident, student, highest, earliest.

In cases where the terminal “T” is not obvious, its good form to include it.

Lost, east, fast, cast, vast, least, dust, taste, missed,
mixed, post, coast, worst, distant, intent, content, extent, patent.
