The English language has partly been composed or made up from some other languages in the past, and it is quite complex in some ways. It is necessary to have one or two dictionaries and a notebook to work on the study of English.
There are words that are sometimes used differently when any sentence is meaningfully written so that information is put together in a clear manner. The notebook must be used to write sentences, to discover meanings from dictionaries and to practise handwriting.
The group of letters in the English language is called the alphabet. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. Letters which give the important sounds to words are the vowels. They are a, e, i, o, and u. As well, the consonant y sometimes copies the sound of a vowel.
There are 21 other letters, y included; they are called consonants. The alphabet should not be forgotten. It should be written in a notebook and practised until it is learnt well.
The alphabet is recalled to establish the required definition. Information regarding that definition is found when its correct spelling is located as a headword.
Sentences spoken or written to clearly make a statement or idea that is completely meaningful have rules of grammar that are patterns for the basic English language. The spoken language is important as well so that syllables can be recognised. A syllable is heard in the pronunciation of a word. Part of how a word is said is linked to vowels, or a single vowel, to produce sound.
mouse has one syllable mouse
pirate has two syllables – pi-rate
remember has three syllables – re-mem-ber
