Alphabet Fun

In English we have a set of letters in a fixed order.

There are 26 letters in the English language.

These 26 letters make up the alphabet family.

We write these 26 letters in two ways:

 

Capital letters:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

 

Small letters:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

The letters Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu are called vowels.

The other letters are called consonants.

Alphabetical Order: The order in which we recall all the letters of the English alphabet family is the alphabetical order.

Rules:

  • When we write a b c d e, all the letters are in alphabetical order.
  • When we write a e d b c, the letters are not in alphabetical order.
  • The first letter of every word helps us to write the words in alphabetical order.
