Basics of Grammar

 

Syllable

A syllable is a part of a word or a larger word containing at least a vowel that can be pronounced at once without changing the movement of the lips and tongue.

Example: 

(i).Cat              (ii). Book      (iii). Run       (iv). Wa-ter      (v). Ap-ple            (vi). Pen-cil

(Vii). Cat-a-logue        (viii). Beau-ti-ful           (ix). E-co-no-my

• If a word has only one syllable then it's called a Monosyllabic Word. 

• If a word has two syllables then it's called a DIsyllabic Word.

• Three - Trisyllabic Word

• More than three syllables—Polysyllabic Word

A vowel itself can be a syllable. 

Example: I, a.
