Vowels:

A vowel is a speech sound made with your mouth fairly open, and the air flows freely out of your mouth.

The main vowels in the English alphabet are a, e, i, o, and u. The letter y can sometimes act as a vowel, too.

Vowel sounds can vary in length (long or short) and can combine to form diphthongs (a blend of two vowel sounds)


Consonants:

A consonant is a speech sound made by blocking air from flowing out of the mouth with the teeth, tongue, lips, or palate.

Most of the other letters in the alphabet are consonants (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, z).

Consonant sounds can be voiced (using your vocal cords, like "b") or voiceless (not using your vocal cords, like "p").


Syllables:

Quite - number of syllables: 1

Quiet (Qui-et) - number of syllables: 2
