ENGLISH ALPHABET

An alphabet is a set of letters or symbols that we use to represent the basic speech sounds of a language in writing.
The English alphabet has 26 letters or "characters" (from A to Z), five of them are vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and twenty one are consonants.  Sometimes Y can be used as a vowel.


Big letters are sometimes called upper case or capitals. Examples: A, B, C, D, E…
Small letters are sometimes called lower case. Examples: a, b, c, d, e…
We always write the alphabet in the same order. This order is called "alphabetical order": 
 
We say all the letters of the alphabet the same in British English and American English except for Z. In British English we say Zed. In American English we say Zee.


The letters above are in normal "alphabetical order" but the letters below are grouped by sound. The letters in each column all have the same vowel sound. 
 
The letters of the alphabet do NOT always represent the same sounds of English. When we pronounce the letters of the alphabet is very important to understand that this is just for how we say the name of each letter. When we use the letters in words, they often have a different sound.
