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.
