2. A silent letter can help us work out the meaning of the word and it also can change the pronunciation even though it’s silent – sin\/sign, rat\/rate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Magic ‘e’ – if you add ‘e’ at the end of short vowel sound words it elongates the sound – rid\/ride, cop\/cope, hat\/hate, tap\/tape, at\/ate, mat\/mate. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sometimes people might pronounce certain letters or they might not depending on their accent, for example the t in ‘often’ can be pronounced or not. H is silent in a lot of accents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.The H is silent in some words from French – hour, honest, honour, heir, herb (in American)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. They show the origins and history (etymology) of a word.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
