LETTERS

Divisions of Grammar Definitions - Etymology. A letter is a mark or character used to represent an articulate sound. Letters are divided into vowels and consonants. A vowel is a letter which makes a distinct sound by itself. Consonants cannot be sounded without the aid of vowels. The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y when they do not begin a word or syllable. Next: SYLLABLES AND WORDS Previous: DIVISIONS OF GRAMMAR Report Privacy SHARE BOOKMARK
