Monosyllabic words are words that aren't split. Monosyllabic is not, ironically, monosyllabic. It is split into: Mon-Oh-Sill-Ah-Bick. It has five syllables. You can clap out the syllables: Mon(clap) Oh(clap) Sill(clap) Ah(clap) Bick(clap). Examples of monosyllabic words are word, pie, top, cool. These only have one clap: Cool(clap), Word(clap), Top(clap).

Give me a example of the monosyllabic English word?

Yes. Monosyllabic means 'having one-syllable.' Syllables are the phonological elements of words, but this is not to say that each sound comprises a syllable. Each syllable has one vowel sound, and may have one or more consonant sounds before or after the vowel sound. Not every written vowel comprises a syllable; spoken and written language do not often match very well. Consider the word 'bridge,' which is written with two vowels, but has only syllable. Monosyllabic words, have only one vowel sound, so they are generally short. With the exception of "seven," all the numbers from one to ten are monosyllabic. Excepting "double-u," all the names of the letters in the English alphabet are monosyllabic. Most body parts are monosyllabic: head, foot, hand, arm, leg, neck, throat, eye, lips, mouth, toe, knee, shin, thigh, hair, pate, nose, lash, nail, skin, flesh, bone, etc. Most function words (articles, prepositions, etc.) have only one vowel: the, a, an, this, that, to, from, on, in, with, etc. Some mono-syllabic words have complex sounds: text, spelled, slipped, fresh, bridge Some English "words" have no syllable: shhh, psst

What is the English pronunciation?

It's how you say words in English, unlike in Latin and in languages based in/derived from Latin, English is not a phonetic language. A phonetic language is a language wherein the words are pronounced as they are spelled. Some English words can have the same spelling but different pronunciation, for example: * I like to read [ri:d]. * I have read [red] that book. Some words have different spelling but the same pronunciation, for example: * I have read [red] that book. * My favourite colour is red [red].

English words that are like french words?

There are many words in English that have their origins in French (or Norman). It's one of the reasons that English is such a rich language as there are often "French" and "Saxon" words for the same thing (for example, courage (French) and bravery (Saxon)). Some other "French" based words in English are: perfume, accomplice, admire, ace, baggage, ballet - there is a link associated with this answer which provides a much longer list.
