sound and are kept together when the word
is divided into syllables.

moun/ted (vv)
• ex. ti/dy (v/cv)
shiv/er (vc/v)

vowel, then the first syllable is open and the
vowel sound is long. If the word divides
after the consonant, then the first syllable
is closed and the vowel sound is short.

in a word, the word breaks after the first
consonant usually and the sounds of the
remaining two consonants are blended together.
