What is an open and closed syllable in English?

1. Enis: English letters

 

Relatively open syllables: (vowels + consonants + E)

Absolute start: (consonants + vowels)

In general, when the last few letters of a word are in the vowel letters + consonants + e, the vowel letter is an open syllable, that is, reading the original letter, and E is not pronounced, such as take, blame, name, or a In other words. In this case, it is called a relatively open syllable. If a letter has only one E at the end or at the end, it often sends its own sound, such as hi, blue (where u reads/u:/), and so on.

2. Closed syllable (no letter sound)

 

Structure: (vowels + consonants)

Generally speaking, when the last few letters of a word are in the structure of vowel letters + consonants, the vowels read their closed syllables. Generally, A reads //, e reads/e /, O read/O/, I read/I/, u read/u/or/^/, such as bad, big, Peg, humbug, block, etc.

 

Of course there are many special cases.

Open syllable
1) A unit ending with a vowel. For example, be, he.
2) The Syllable ending with a consonant letter (except R) + an e that is not pronounced. For example, make and like.
* In the open syllable, The metachic letters are pronounced by letter.

2. Closed syllable
A syllable that ends with one or more consonants (except R) and has only one vowel in the middle,
It is called a closed syllable. Example: map, desk, is.
* In the closed syllable of the re-reading, the metachin letter is used as the short vowel.

What is an open syllable?

There are two types of Enis: absolute Enis and relative Enis.
① Absolute Open syllable: There is no secondary syllable behind a single vowel letter. Example: No blue ba-by stu-dent se-cret.
② Relatively open syllable: A single vowel is followed by a single consonant letter, plus a re-reading syllable consisting of a non-pronounced letter e. Example: name these bike home ex-cuse.

What is closed syllable?

A single vowel is followed by a secondary character group (except r w y) and ended with a secondary syllable. Example: Bag egg fish not cup
