Consonants form a major part of the English language. So, one needs to know how to pronounce these consonants properly. It is very necessary to learn phonics for reading and pronouncing the language better. When there are two or three consonants in a word which are blended together each of these consonant sounds should be made while pronouncing the word. Black is an example for the consonant blend. When the word black is pronounced both the consonant b and l sound is heard. There will be a consonant digraph when two or more consonants combine to form a new sound. Example for this is phone.
