What is a syllable?

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (   / editor  )

What is a syllable?

It’s the sound of a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) that is created when pronouncing the letters
A, E, I, O, U, or Y.
Vowels give shape or their volume to the words. It's almost impossible to pronounce many consonants without vowels between them.
“Y” is a vowel only if it creates an A, E, I, O, or U sound.
• Examples: fry, try, cry, & dry
The number of times you hear the sound of a vowel is the number of syllables in a word.
• If two (or more) vowels are next to each other, the number of syllables is the number of vowel sounds.
•
• Examples: free (1 syllable), eat (1 syllable), and Radio (3 syllables)
• A silent vowels is not a syllable.
• Examples: fire (1 syllable), site (1 syllable), hide (1 syllable)
If a word ends with “-le” or “-les” and the “-” is not a vowel, “-le” is a syllable.
• Example: apple (2 syllables)
