Vowel Vs Consonant
What are vowels and consonants? Explain with an example.
Vowel Vs Consonant
The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, 5 of which are vowels (a, e, i, o, u), and the rest are consonants.
A vowel is a sound that is made by allowing the breath to escape from the mouth, and without any part of the mouth or throat.
A consonant is a sound that is produced by the blocking of the air flow out of the mouth, teeth, tongue, lips, mouth, or the mouth and the”b” has been created using the mouth, and together, the “l” is created by the use of the tongue to the roof of the mouth).
The letter ” u “sounds like a consonant at the beginning of the words” yacht” and “yellow, but in a negative way, at the end of the words” darling”, “sweetheart.

The script of our English language consists of 26 letters, out of which five are vowels (a, e, i, o, and u), and the remaining 21 are consonants.
Any word starting with a vowel can be preceded by “an” ; for example:
An Aeroplan, An Evening, An Owl, An Elephant, An An,t etc.
But there are some exceptions to this rule. There are even some words that start with a consonant but are preceded by “an”; this happens when the consonant is silent, and as a result, the word is pronounced beginning with a vowel. For example:
An hour, an honor, an heir, etc.
Any word that begins with a consonant is being preceded by “a”; for example:
A boy, A girl, A mango, A cup, A shirt, A glass, etc.
