Understanding Vowel and Consonant Patterns

The video tutorial explains the concept of vowels and consonants, using 'V' to mark vowels and 'C' for consonants. It introduces the V CV syllable division pattern, where syllables are divided after the first vowel, resulting in an open syllable with a long vowel sound. Examples using the words 'basic' and 'Iris' illustrate this pattern. Additionally, the V C V pattern is discussed, where syllables are divided after the consonant if the first syllable has a short vowel, resulting in a closed syllable with a short vowel sound, as shown with the word 'panic'.

Which letters are considered vowels in the English language?

• a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y

• x, y, z, and sometimes w

• b, c, d, f, g

• a, e, i, o, u, and z
