Alliteration

📝 Quick Definition

Repetition of initial consonant sounds

📚 Detailed Explanation

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words that are close together. It creates rhythm and can make phrases more memorable and pleasing to the ear.

💡 Example

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

⚠️ Common Mistake/Confusion

Must be initial sounds, not just the same letter (e.g., "phone" and "fox" don't alliterate).
