A vowel followed by one consonant is called a closed syllable. In closed syllables, the vowel is "closed in" by a consonant, affecting its pronunciation. Examples include words like "cat," "dog," and "run."
A vowel consonant E syllable is a syllable that consists of a vowel followed by a consonant and then an "E." The presence of the silent "E" at the end of the syllable often affects the pronunciation of the vowel, making it long instead of short.
The rule for doubling the final consonant is that if a one-syllable word ends in a single vowel followed by a single consonant, you double the final consonant when adding a suffix that starts with a vowel. For example, "run" becomes "running."
No, "flute" is not a consonant blend. It begins with the consonant "f" followed by the vowel "l" sound.
Almost any word you can think of that has a double consonant preceeded by a vowel will have a short vowel sound, just as almost any word with a single consonant after the vowel will make the vowel a long sound. A few words that have a short vowel sound followed by a double consonant are: batter, better, bitter, butter, hemming, teller, messier and letter.
v/cv
