Spell Bee Word: Oh


What does oh mean?

Word: Oh

Part of Speech: Exclamation

Meaning: Oh means a sound you make when something takes you by surprise, or when you suddenly understand.

Sounds like: owe (to have to give back money or something you borrowed)

How do you spell oh?

Syllables: oh

Tricky part: Oh ends with an h that makes no sound, so children often leave it out.

Watch out for: ohe, owh, ohw

Memory tip: Imagine the h in oh as a quiet shadow at the end of the word: it is there, but it makes no sound.

Oh in a sentence

Example 1: Oh no, I spilled my milk.

Example 2: Oh, what a big elephant.

Example 3: "Oh, it is raining again," said Tara.

Fun Fact

When people read out a phone number, they often say oh for zero, so 901 becomes nine oh one.
