The moment we hear the expression - "consonant", we soon remember the consonants present in our alphabet.
So you already know: Consonant cluster is the meeting of two consonants in the same syllable or in different syllables. Let's look at some examples:
Dish – cloves – child – toy – cousin
The consonant cluster of the quoted words is found in the same syllable, do you know why?
Never forget!
The consonants “l” and “r” will always be together in a single syllable.
But in some situations they may separate, as shown in the examples below:
object - rhythm - lawyer
You may have noticed that it is very important that we know how to correctly separate the syllables so that we can understand this subject well.
So here are some words so you don't have any more doubts!
first – first – first
child – child – child
prince – prín – ci - pe
athlete - a - tle - ta
astronaut - the - tro - nauta
bike – bike – cle – ta
admirer – admit – ra – pain
meaning – sig – ni – fi – ca – do
