Difference Between Vowels and Consonants

Vowels	Consonants
Vowels make open and clear sounds that allow one to sing and talk easily.	Consonants work with vowels to create different sounds and words.
When we say vowels, our mouth stays open, and the sound flows smoothly.	Consonants involve different mouth movements. Sometimes our lips close, or our tongue touches the roof of our mouth.
Vowels add melody to words and help in creating meaningful sounds.	Consonants help in connecting vowels to build words with distinct meanings. Without them, words might sound unclear or incomplete.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between vowels and consonants?

Answer: Vowels can make sounds on their own whereas consonants usually need a vowel to make a sound.

2. Can we make words by using only consonants?

Answer: No, we can't make a word with consonants only because we must have at least one vowel to make a valid word. For example, pin and blow. Both words have vowels, "i" and "o".
