In this video,

I'm going to tell you about the pronunciation of words
3
3699
3002
00:06
containing a silent H in English.
4
6701
2909
00:09
And these words are very common.
5
9610
3250
00:12
A silent ‘h’ can be found after another consonant.
6
12860
4633
00:17
For example, we have the word ‘ache’,
7
17493
3346
00:20
containing ‘ch’
8
20839
2157
00:22
very common combination.
9
22996
2194
00:25
And the sound is a hard ‘k’
10
25190
2474
00:27
so that the ‘h’ is actually silent.
11
27664
3633
00:31
Sometimes you can find a silent ‘h’
12
31297
3302
00:34
in the beginning of a word.
13
34599
1724
00:36
For example, the word ‘hour’.
14
36323
3396
00:39
So these are a few examples. There are others.
15
39719
3297
00:43
Actually, I have a list of the most common words.
16
43016
