Examples of Words with B and V

Words with B and V

The B and the V are two letters that present many confusions for those who are incorporated to literacy since their pronunciation is very similar.

The difference between the pronunciation of one and the other is very subtle: the B has a sound produced by the clash between the lips, while the V has a loudness given by the clash between lips and teeth.

exist orthography rules that establish when the B is used (called be long or be high) and when the V (called go short or go low).
