Theme:  Polysyllables.

Lesson1

Today we are going to learn about polysyllables. We are going to do some tasks to improve your knowledge.

In order to learn about polysyllables, we should start with a syllable. 

A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants).

Syllables are often considered the phonological "building blocks" of words.

A word that consists of a single syllable (like English dog) is called a monosyllable (and is said to be monosyllabic). Similar terms include disyllable (and disyllabic) for a word of two syllables; trisyllable (and trisyllabic) for a word of three syllables; and polysyllable (and polysyllabic), which may refer either to a word of more than three syllables or to any word of more than one syllable.

-          polysyllable (plural polysyllables) - a word with more than two syllables. Sometimes used in a more restricted sense.
