The vowels will usually either go before or after the consonant in that vowel, or sometimes they will be in a syllable of their own. A good way to work out which syllable to put the vowels with, is to say the word really slowly, and picture in your mind where the letters will be going. If a syllable still makes the same sound by itself as in with the rest of the syllables, then you have included the right letters in the syllable. I hope this helps :)
The word clutter has two syllables (clut-ter) and two vowels (u & e).
2 syllables......... Addition: Just count how many vowels the word has. So in this case the word "trapped" has two vowels....
To split the word "syllables" into its individual syllables, you can break it down like this: syl-la-bles.

Syllables are the sounds of vowels in respect of how a word is pronounced. You can work out how many syllables are in a word by saying it aloud. There is only one syllable in the word 'brooch'.
The number of breathes (or stops) it takes to say a word, or the number of vowel sounds in a word are both good indications of how many syllables are in a word.For example:The word "divided" di-vi-ded is three syllables. (3 vowels, 3 vowel sounds, 3 syllables.) but the word "divide" di-vide is two syllables (3 vowels, 2 vowel sounds, 2 syllables.)It is important to remember that just because a word has a certain number of vowels does not mean that it also has the same number of syllables.The name "Juan" has two vowels, but they create one sound, so the name is one syllable long.
