In English, it is very important to pronounce vowels correctly. English has an extensive vocabulary, but many words are monosyllabic. If we don't pronounce vowels correctly, we risk making a mistake in the meaning we want to infer. A minimal pair is a pair of words which have different meanings, but their pronunciation is almost the same: the only difference (minimal) is one sound.
Beat and bit are examples of minimal pairs.
Can you come up with more examples?
