Spelling 10 - More 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, like the last, you have to find the words containing the letter Q.
The letter Q is the 17th letter of the English alphabet and the letter U is the 21st letter. The positions of the two letters in the alphabet have no particular numerical significance but the two letters combine to give some amazing words which enrich the English vocabulary.
Q is among the lesser used letters in English. Interestingly the letter is even more rarely used without an accompanying U. Almost all the words that contain the letter Q in their spelling do so in combination with the letter U, thus - QU. A standalone Q is limited to proper nouns.
