Spelling 09 - Fun with Q
We thought we'd end the spelling section of our Upper Primary English quizzes with a couple of easy ones just for fun! In this quiz, and the one that follows, you have to find the words which contain the letter Q.
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, out of which 21 are consonants and 5 are vowels. We know that all words must contain at least one vowel. However, as always in English, there are exceptions! Words such as RHYTHM, FRY or SPY do not have a vowel in them but for all practical purposes Y (in these cases) is treated as a vowel. It takes on the role of a vowel not only in spelling but also in pronunciation as it adopts the sounds of other vowels depending upon the word within which it is found.
There are a few consonants which are not used as often as some of the more common letters. The letters J, Z, X and Q are consonants that are seldom used. Of these the letter Q holds a special place.
