If you think about it really hard, pH doesn't quite make the F sound, but it's own unique sound very similar to F. Speak out loud: The P sound followed by the H sound. Keep going faster: "P---H, P--H, P-H, PH, until the two letters are closely heard next to each other. This is when you should understand why PH makes the F sound and how the letter H makes the letter P sound so much different when placed right after it. You can do the same thing with SH, TH, LK, etc. just think about it out loud.
