Consonant Blends and Articles

This document discusses consonant blends and articles. Consonant blends are combinations of two or three consonant sounds in a word like "blanket" or "planet". Articles (a, an, the) are used before nouns and indicate whether the noun refers to something specific or not. "A" is used before consonant sounds, "an" is used before vowel sounds, and "the" refers to specific or known things that have been mentioned before. An exercise is provided to identify consonant blends and complete sentences using the correct article.
