Here's a breakdown:
* Consonants are sounds made by partially or fully blocking airflow in the mouth. They contrast with vowels, which are sounds made with an open airflow.
* Ending a word with a consonant is common in many languages.
Examples of words ending in consonants:
* cat (ends in 't')
* dog (ends in 'g')
* jump (ends in 'p')
* walk (ends in 'k')
* fish (ends in 'sh')
* crash (ends in 'sh')
* dance (ends in 's')
Important note: A word can end in more than one consonant. For example:
* helped (ends in 'd' and 'd')
* plants (ends in 't' and 's')
