How many sound can the letter ch makes?

The letter combination "ch" can make two distinct sounds in English:

1. The "ch" sound: This is the most common sound, as in "chair," "chicken," and "church." It's a voiceless palatal fricative.

2. The "k" sound: This sound occurs in words like "chemical," "chore," and "chaos." It's simply the sound of the letter "k."

So, while there are two distinct sounds, they're both represented by the same letter combination "ch".
