High school English Grammar- Lesson1

ALPHABETS (VOWELS & CONSONANTS)

From A to Z , there are 26 units in English alphabets, each unit is called a letter.

Among these 26 letters 5 are VOWELS  that are A, E , I, O & U , and the rest 21 are CONSONANTS.

A VOWEL is different from a CONSONANT , because we can produce a vowel sound independently without help of any consonant , but a consonant sound can not be produced untill we get support of a vowel sound. Secondly when we produce a vowel sound , we do not shut our mouth,  but when we produce a consonant sound we need shut our mouth atleast stop the breath somewhere in the oral cavity even for a fraction of second.

WORD

A word is when the letters (combination of vowels and consonants) are arranged in such a way that it creates an expression , we call it a WORD.

For instance PEN is a word but EPN , NPE or PNE are not word because they don't express any meaning.

SENTENCE

A Sentence is a group of words that are arranged in such a way that it creates a sensual expression. A sentence must consist atleast one action word in it.

For instance , "Tom chases Jerry " is a sentence but Jerry Tom chases is not because there is no sensual expression in the second case.
