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
