What are consonents dighraphs?

You're likely asking about consonant digraphs, not "dighraphs".

Consonant digraphs are two consonants that come together to represent a single sound.

Here are some examples of common consonant digraphs in English:

* ch - as in chair, chicken

* sh - as in ship, shoe

* th - as in thin, thick

* ph - as in phone, photograph

* wh - as in what, where

* ck - as in ckick, back

* ng - as in sing, finger

* gn - as in sign, reign

* tch - as in match, catch

Important notes:

* Some consonant digraphs may have different pronunciations depending on the word. For example, "th" can be pronounced as in "thin" or as in "this".

* Some digraphs are more common than others.

* Digraphs are not the same as consonant blends, which are two consonants that are pronounced separately.

Hopefully this helps!
