What Is a Syllable?

A syllable is a single, unbroken sound or beat in a word.

✅ Try clapping it out:

Tall (1 clap = 1 syllable)

Happy (HAP-py = 2 syllables)

Interesting (IN-ter-est-ing = 4 syllables)

Syllable length (or syllable count) helps determine how we form comparative adjectives.

Words of 1 syllable: small - smaller / quiet - quieter

Words of 2 syllables:  noisy - noisier / clever - cleverer

Words of 3 syllables or more: Beautiful - more beautiful / difficult / more difficult / expensive / more expensive
