What Are Consonants? (with Examples)

All the letters in the alphabet apart from A, E, I, O, and U (called vowels) are known as consonants.

Interactive example:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 


A consonant is a letter of the alphabet which represents a basic speech sound produced by obstructing the breath in the vocal tract. For example:
·         T is pronounced using the tongue (front part)
·         K is pronounced using the tongue (back part)
·         B is pronounced with the lips
·         H is pronounced in the throat
·         F is pronounced by forcing air through a narrow gap
·         M is pronounced using the nasal passage
A consonant can be combined with a vowel to form a syllable.
