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:
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.
