What are Monophthongs?

Monophthongs are special sounds in the English language that are produced without any noticeable change in the shape of the mouth. They are single vowel sounds that are not broken up into diphthongs or other combinations. In English, there are twelve monophthongs, which can be divided into two main groups: long vowels and short vowels.

Today, we're focusing on short vowels, which are the cornerstones of many words in the English language. They are pronounced with a shorter duration and a more distinct sound than their long vowel counterparts.

Types of Short Vowels

There are five short vowels in English: a, e, i, o, u. Each vowel has its own unique sound and is represented by different letters or letter combinations. Let's explore each one:

• a - as in "cat," "hat," "bag"
• e - as in "bed," "red," "net"
• i - as in "pig," "sit," "fish"
• o - as in "box," "hot," "dog"
• u - as in "cup," "sun," "hug"
