Silent Letter Rules (know, write, psychology)
Some letters are written but not pronounced.
| Word | Silent letter |
|---|---|
| know, knife, knee | silent k |
| write, wrong, wrist | silent w |
| hour, honest | silent h |
| psychology, psalm | silent p |
| comb, lamb | silent b |
Silent k and w often come at the start before another consonant (know, write).
Common mistake: Pronouncing the silent letter ("k-now," "w-rite"). Say "now" → /noʊ/ and "rite."
