One of the problems with the letter 'r' in RP is... 

• It's often not pronounced! 

The rule...

• The 'r' is only pronounced in RP when a vowel sound follows. 
• How about these words?
• right, protect, other, board games, try, correct, longer? 
• right, protect, other, board games, try, correct, longer?

Exception

Rule... If a word ends in < r >, (CAR) and the next word begins with a vowel sound (ENGINE), the < r > will be pronounced in connected speech: CAR_ENGINE, but not if the words are said separately. Try these examples first separately, then together:
