Silent letters are so tricky

So here I'm Sudipta from Speaklish

So let's get the ball rolling

the letter S

An S can also be silent and I know that you've already struggled with this one

for example

Island

Island

Debris

debris and

Aisle

Aisle

The bride walked down the aisle.

So an S can be a little bit sneaky

Now the letter T

The letter T can an also be a bit of sneaky

And it can also be silent

like in these examples

Listen

listen

castle castle

ballet ballet

Soften, Gourmet

Asthma

Christmas Christmas

Whistle whistle

The letter U

The letter U can also be silent

And I bet you didn't think of that letter when we started talking about silent letters in English

But it's quite common

Have a look at all of these examples of really common English words

Guitar

guitar

Guilty guilty

Tongue

Tongue

Guard

Guard

Colleague

Colleague

Guess

Guess

The letter W. It is silent when it's at the start of a word before the letter R

For example

Wrong

wrist , Write

wrote

It's also not pronounced in these common words:

Who

Whoever Whole

two

Sword Answer

Well, that's it for the silent letters and for the silent letter series
