Understanding the English alphabet

The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, each serving as a fundamental building block of written communication:

The 26 letters

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

These letters are categorized into two main groups:

Vowels (5 letters)

  • A, E, I, O, U - Letters that form the core sounds in syllables

Consonants (21 letters)

  • B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z - Letters that combine with vowels to create words
