To underline a word in a sentence, you can use the formatting option in a word processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Simply select the word you want to underline and click on the underline button in the formatting toolbar. This will apply the underline style to the selected word.
One example of a word containing the same digraph sound as "Philadelphia" is "elephant." The "ph" digraph in both words produces the same "f" sound.
The three major types of consonant blends are initial blends (blends at the beginning of a word, e.g., "bl"), final blends (blends at the end of a word, e.g., "st"), and medial blends (blends in the middle of a word, e.g., "sk").
A split digraph is when a vowel digraph is split by a consonant, such as the 'e' at the end of a word making the vowel say its name as in "time" or "hope." It occurs when an 'e' at the end of a word changes the short vowel sound to a long vowel sound.
The word "kerchief" contains a digraph. Digraphs are pairs of letters that represent a single sound, in this case, the "ch" sound.
The word "wholly" contains a beginning digraph "wh" which creates a /hw/ sound, rather than a blend.
