The English alphabet consists of 26 letters. There are 5 vowels: 'a,' 'e,' 'i,' 'o,' and 'u' (and sometimes 'y' is included). The remaining 21 letters are consonants.
Each letter has a distinct name, and although the names don't always match their sounds, knowing the names is crucial for spelling and communication.
Learning the English alphabet is the foundation for reading, writing, and speaking English effectively.
Practice saying the letters aloud and using them in words to improve your pronunciation and familiarity with English sounds.
