Do you wanna improve your knowledge of English phonology? Well, I've decided to focus on this multigraph in this lesson. C'mon.
The two consonants 'l' and 'k' make a digraph 'lk'. In this lesson, we will learn about its sounds.
Digraphs are a set of two letters that stand together and produce a new sound.
| Digraph | lk |

| Sound(s) | /k/, /lk/ |
The Digraph 'lk'
Sound 1: /k/
'lk' always at the end of a word sounds /k/ if it is preceded by 'o' or 'a':
