Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

Last week, we talked about a silent B in plumber, bomber, climber. Remember?

There are many more words in English with silent letters. For instance, The words knock, knife and knee all begin with the letter K although you don't hear it. Autumn, column and condemn all end with the letter N but again you don't hear it. There's no G sound in the words daughter, right, height and weight. But when you spell these words, you'll see the letter G in them. Listen and fasten have a silent T while hour and honest a silent H.

Now, I gave you a quiz last week. What five-letter word has a silent CH? Have you found the answer? It's YACHT, Y-A-CH-T. A yacht is a large expensive boat used for pleasure or sport. As far as I know, yacht is the only word in the English language that has a silent CH.

Now, why don't you try another quiz here? You'll be given three options. Please listen carefully and choose the one that is TRUE. Ready?

1. Sunday has a silent letter.

2. Wednesday has a silent letter.

3. Friday has a silent letter.
