A very warm welcome to my channel WIKIPIDDY
and here is your new host
Piddy
Since it's my first video with you all,
today
I'm going to start
for the beginners
as well as for beginning with the grammar too
that is
the alphabets.
Vowels and consonants.
We all know this is the basic part
of the English grammar.
What ever we do with English
we move forward, we have to know
this basic part of the alphabet
along with it's division of alphabet
which has been classified into vowels and consonants.
In my today's video,
I will describe
the whole alphabet chapter
along with the vowels and consonants
and the important part
syllables
which is the basic part while doing spellings
and construction of sentences.
I hope this will help a lot to you
while doing the grammar
and for beginners
it will be a big wealth.
So,
lets begin with the basic part of the English grammar
that is
vowels and consonants.
We all know that in alphabet
there are 26 letters.
Out of which
5 are vowels
and rest 21 are
consonants.
I am going to discuss about the whole part
of the vowels and consonants
and
how to identify
which are vowels and which are consonants
and what's the difference
between the vowels and consonants.
I have made a tree over here, you will see
I have written in the main, it's alphabet.
We all know there are alphabet from A to Z.
That means there are total 26 letters
in the alphabet.
Out of which 5 are vowels,
that is a, e, i, o, u.
So,
if I like to define the vowels,
What will be the definition of vowels?
further most we have to know
that,
vowels are the soul of the English
alphabet.
Why I'm saying they are sole of the English alphabet?
It's very important to know.
Without the vowels,
we are unable to speak any word,
or
to make any words.
And why I am saying so,
vowels are the letters
which are pronounced
with open sounds
which makes open sounds.
That means,
when we pronounce these letters
our mouth get wide open.
Without being stopped
anywhere inside the mouth
by our lip, throat, tongue.
If I pronounce A you will see
that our mouth is getting wide open and out breath
is going out.
E,
I,
O,
U.
In all these 5 letters pronunciation,
the sound is coming out
with an open mouth.
That means
you will have to be very clear about the vowels,
they are independently spoken.
They don't need anyone's help.
Just the opposite is the consonants.
Other than a,e,i,o,u;
all the other letters are consonants.
That means there are 21 letters left,
so all those 21 letters are consonants
that is,
b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z.
So these are all consonants.
And the difference between vowel and consonant,
the most important point is
consonants always needs help of a vowel
while speaking.
That means
without the help of the vowel
we can't speak consonant.
I am giving you one rough example
like,
for a sake of pt.
pt,
it doesn't makes any word.
number 1
And when we are writing it,
we can't speak it properly.
But in between pt if we write any vowel,
say
e, it will become pet.
That means at that time,
it is taking a turn
and forms a
word.
and that is a meaningful word.
Pat.
Pit.
Put.
So,
consonants always needs help of a vowel while speaking.
And when we pronounce consonant,
our sound gets blocked inside our mouth
by our lips,
tongue, throat.
It doesn't comes out.
In vowels the sounds comes out.
But in consonants the sounds gets blocked
inside our mouth.
That is the basic difference between vowel and consonant.
And the second important point is
consonant always needs help of a vowel
while speaking.
If there is no vowel between the consonants,
a word won't be formed
and while speaking
it won't term properly
and that is why
we will fail to pronounce that word.
Like pt doesn't means any word
and also while speaking that word,
we can't speak it properly.
I have written the definition of each
For vowel,
vowel is a letter standing for a open sound
that can be spoken independently
That means vowel doesn't need help of anyone.
It is independent.
They are capable own self
while pronouncing them.
A, E, I, O, U.
Only there are 5 vowels.
Don't mistake any time and put any other letters
and put it in the vowel section and make it a vowel.
No.
It is a grammatical law
and we have to know
there are only 5 vowels
exists in this world.
And the definition of consonants is,
A consonant is a letter that can sound
with the help of
some vowels or semi vowels only.
I am coming to this second part that is semi vowel.
Now just concentrate on the vowel part
A consonant is a letter that needs the help of a vowel
while
pronouncing.
Just now I have given a raw example with pt.
I hope it's clear.
So the alphabet have been classified further
Into more two parts
that is semi vowel and semi consonant.
First lets talk about semi vowel.
These are the two peculiar quality
that vowel has
as well as consonant have.
But not all the letters of vowels,
and not all the letters of consonants.
There are 2 consonants,
that is w and y,
they have a peculiar quality.
You can say they have dual personality.
That means, they sometimes play
a role of a vowel too
besides the role of a consonant.
They are consonant for sure,
but sometimes they also play the role of
vowel
and when they play that role of vowel,
that time we are terming it as
semi vowel.
Two consonants of the alphabet
have a peculiar quality,
they are w and y,
they sound as vowels and sometimes as
non-vowels.
Non-vowels means consonants
and sometimes as a vowel.
It's something like very tricky,
but it is true
grammatical
part
which concedes the alphabet part.
Let's see,
cow,
see when we are pronouncing,
actually this
complete chapter is based on pronunciation.
Nothing else.
How we are pronouncing,
which words are being pronounced.
Are there hissing sound,
or they are getting mute.
It's all about that.
So when we are saying cow.
See,
if you follow it carefully,
keep your mind calm, you will see
that while pronouncing,
in the last sensation word
you are seeing,
'u' being pronounced.
Cowww...
Myyy...
In this case 'e' is being pronounced
Flyyy...
See,
recall your mind you will see 'e' is being pronounced.
Dewww...
It's very easy,
'u' is being pronounced.
We are hearing as if there are,
the last letter is ending with the, vowel.
But actually not.
They are ending with consonant.
That is why,
since
we are getting the hint sound,
of a vowel,
we are terming it as semi vowel, not complete vowel.
Means they are playing the role of a vowel.
Similar to this, there are semi consonant also.
Semi consonant, just the opposite of semi vowel.
That means,
there is one vowel
particular one vowel is there out of 5
that is 'u',
which is a vowel
for sure,
but in some cases
it acts as a consonant.
That means
this letter also plays a dual characteristic
just like w and y.
But here,
it's plays the role of a consonant.
Being a vowel, it's playing the role of a consonant.
There is only one letter,
and that is, u.
As vowel,
cup, pulse, fuel.
These are simple,
these are coming under the vowel section only.
When we are saying a, e, i, o, u.
Write some words,
where vowel 'u' will be there.
Then these are the words,
cup, pulse, fuel.
But as non-vowel,
that means as a consonant,
this 'u' is being treated as consonant also.
In sound, they are
sounding as
vowel.
How?
Union.
See, union
use.
In these all cases,
we are not getting the sound of a vowel.
We are getting the opposite
that is consonant.
The sound of a consonant is coming.
But not particular sound
which we are used to get
for cow, my, fly, dew.
Here all a, e, i, o, u sounds being heard or pronounced.
But in this case,
we are not getting
any pronunciation of a, e, i, o, u.
So,
these are semi consonants.
So semi vowel and semi consonant
are the vowel and consonant
which sometimes plays
the role of the opposite.
Firstly, they are completely vowel
if it is a semi consonant.
And secondly they are playing the role of
vowel.
So it is nothing other than that.
They are just playing both the qualities
and so we are terming it as semi.
But they won't fall in the category
by mistake don't make
w and y
and u in the consonant, no.
This is just for our understanding
we make it like semi vowel and semi consonant
by going through research we have found
while pronunciation
that's why we have concluded
as semi vowel and semi consonant.
So,
my last part is
syllables.
What is syllables?
Let me first readout the definition then I am going to the
part.
A single vowel or a group of letters
with one vowel sound
is called a
syllables.
For example.
I say 'i',
we know I itself is
a vowel.
Or 'o'
itself is a vowel.
'a'
same itself is a vowel.
'may'
may is the word
and in this word may
we are seeing there is only one vowel is present
and that is
'a'.
These both are consonant.
'talk'
here also one vowel is present
out of 4 letters,
rest three are
consonants.
So,
I am writing over here, there is one syllable.
Why i am writing one syllable?
That means,
in
these words
one vowel is only being getting sound.
So when one vowel is being sound,
that is a syllable, of course
and that is also one syllable. Why?
We are pronouncing and sounding only one
vowel.
These are single that means one.
and these two words,
one vowel is being getting sound.
So that is why it is only one syllable.
So its clear what syllable is.
The letters
or the words
group of letters that means word itself
a vowel is being sound
a single one vowel
then only it is termed as
syllable.
When we are saying two syllables that means
there must be two vowels.
Let see,
sailor
s a i
l o r
we are syllabicating these two
parts
of this word sailor.
In first part
we are saying,
There are
sai - lor
You are seeing there are two letters are present with
which are vowels.
Right?
And in my second part,
there is only one vowel is present and that is 'o'.
Clear.
In this case
you might get confused that,
there are two vowels
inspire of that I'm writing two syllables
means I'm taking two
vowels.
Why?
Just now I told that in syllables
we have to be very clear about the pronunciation.
In this whole chapter only.
When we are saying sailor,
we will see
sai,
the 'a' sound is coming
but the 'i' sound remains
mute.
For that
I have to term it as
one
one vowel only
and in the second part,
lor
only one vowel is getting pronounced, 'o'.
That is why I am terming it as two syllables.
Don't make mistake over here by seeing the 'a' 'i'
and make it three syllables.
It is very common, most of you will be doing it and
even sometimes asks me
that mam there are three syllables,
three vowels are there.
I have faced many questions like that.
But this is the important thing you have to know,
which sounds are being pronounced
and which remains mute.
Mute is the word we generally use in this chapter
vowels and consonants.
Sometimes there are mute letters,
sometimes we say this letter has been pronounced.
So this is the same case of it.
See my third word
tomorrow.
Tomorrow, there is to... 'o'.
In first two letters 'o' is the vowel
one.
In second part,
mor.
'o' ,
another vowel,
two.
In my third
section, I have written 'row'
r - o - w
'o'.
Three.
That means its very clear,
there are three vowels
that means it has to be
three syllables.
The vowel sound we are getting is of three vowels.
Understand, same thing.
un
one vowel, 'u'.
In second part 'der'
'e'
and last 'stand'
'a'
it is the only vowel.
So same thing,
three vowels are present that's why it is
three syllables.
Re-com-mend-ing
Re-com-mend-ing
Re
'e' is the only vowel
then com
c-o-m, com
'o' is another vowel, two.
Mend
'e' is the only vowel,
3.
4th, ing
'i' is the only vowel.
So how many vowels I counted off?
1 2 3 4
very simple, that means it has to be
4 syllables.
Re
1
com
'o'
2 vowels
mend, 'e'
3
a
re-com-mend-a-tory.
Syllables is a very important part guys,
we have to make it
number wise.
We just don't make it
recom, 1
menda, no.
This is a important part, how to break the word
How to make section
Re-com-mend-a
This is a single vowel.
That means it is a syllable, 1.
I have already mentioned, a single vowel.
So,
this word is fulfilling this part.
So see them,
I'm doing the same part of the definition
so that it gets clear to you all.
Then tory,
tory - 'o' is the only vowel.
So, 1 2 3 4 5
so in this particular word
we are crossing 5 vowels
that means there are 5 syllables.
Whenever there are
vowel being sound,
it can be one
monosyllabic.
It can be two, bi-syllabic.
It can be three, tri-syllabic.
When we see there are more than three syllables,
means after 3, 4 - 5 we say it
multi-syllabic.
That means it is more than three vowels
are present in that word.
I hope this is clear to you all
that how to break the word
how to form syllables
which are mute
which are being pronounced
how to pronounce them
what it will be sound off
This is the whole part of the syllable
and vowel and consonant
Hope it is clear to all of you.
There is no other part linked with this chapter.
This is the basic part of the English grammar.
We all have come across this part
and those who are learning new
they has to learn this part
before moving forward
with any other chapter.
Because without knowing the letters
we can't do anything
because every word
comes
under this section alphabets
and that also under vowels
consonant and syllables
and first of all if we don't know syllables
it will be very difficult for us
to make spellings.
Syllables are very much helpful in spellings
Those who are very week in spellings,
I can give a quick trick to you all.
If you break the word
in syllable form it will be very easy for you
to know the spelling and to mug up also.
Because sometimes we come across spellings
which consists of 10 letters
or 5-7-8 letters
that time we get confused
what will be the spelling.
Like see, there are 1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
In one word there are 14 letters.
So it might get confused what will be the spelling.
Sometimes we might miss the 'a'.
We just write recomend-tory.
So for that case,
if you make the syllable
means the breaking
re-com-mend-a-tory
it will be helpful for pronunciation,
you can improve your pronunciation skill.
As well as
writing spellings also.
So just go through this chapter
through my video
I think it will be very much clear
and will be very good guide for you all.
So at last I finished my first
