multigraphs

Do you know all the details about 'th'? I've decided to tell you all about it here because it will be helpful if you wanna become better in speaking English.

English Multigraph "th"

The letter 't' and 'h' are two consonants making the digraph 'th' and producing two different sounds.

Digraphs are a set of two letters that stand together and produce a new sound.

Digraph th
Name th (pronounced /'tee ˈeɪtʃ/)
Sound(s) /θ/, /ð/

The Digraph 'th'

Sound 1: /θ/

The digraph 'th' sounds /θ/:

thought /θɑːt/

three /θriː/

bath /bæθ/

authorize /ˈɑː.θɚ.aɪz/

Sound 2: /ð/

'th' also sounds /ð/:

though /ðoʊ/

they /ðeɪ/

brother /ˈbrʌð.ɚ/

bathe /beɪð/

the /ðə/

Tip

In modern English 'th' has two sounds; however, some linguists believe that 'th' had only one sound in old English.
