The letter “h” appears in a few consonant digraphs: “ ch”, “gh”, “ph”, “th,” “sh”, and “ wh”. ![]() However, there are two circumstances when the single silent “h” is predictable: when it appears between two vowels ( annihilate /əˈnaɪəˌleɪt/), and when it ends a word right after a vowel ( cheetah /ˈtʃiː.t̬ə/).Ī consonant digraph is a combination of consonants that represent one sound. In these three words, the “h” is pronounced, but in the following, it’s silent: With a single silent “h” there are usually no patterns or rules to follow that can help you distinguish whether it’s silent or not. In this article, we’re going to teach you about one silent letter in particular: the silent “h.” The “h” in “hourglass” is silent. Knowing which words have silent letters takes years of practice and familiarization.
