Sound the same?

Is there any difference in pronunciation between Ils s'assoient and Il
s'assoit if the following word starts with a consonant? If not, how can you tell which is meant if the context doesn't make it clear?

Hi Melisa,

Both 'ils s'assoient' and 'il s'assoit' sound the same.

If the context is not clear you would have to ask for clarification.

Hope this helps!
