English Alphabet and Vocabulary Test
We call the sequence of 26 letters used in the English language as ‘Alphabet’ which consists of 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and 21 consonants and the process of forming a meaningful word from different groups of these letters is called ‘Alphabet’. Is called construction.
In this test, questions are often asked based on the English dictionary, word formation and the relative position of the English alphabet.
To solve the questions based on this, it is necessary to have knowledge of the ordinal values of the English alphabet as well as the opposite letters.
The sum of the corresponding Numbers of opposite letters of the English alphabet is always 27.
As :-
A……………Z – 1 + 26 = 27
B……………Y – 1 + 26 = 27
C……………X – 1 + 26 = 27
D…………… W – 1 + 26 = 27
E……………V – 1 + 26 = 27
F……………U – 1 + 26 = 27
G……………T – 1 + 26 = 27
H……………S – 1 + 26 = 27
I……………R – 1 + 26 = 27
J……………Q – 1 + 26 = 27
K……………P – 1 + 26 = 27
L……………O – 1 + 26 = 27
M……………N – 1 + 26 = 27
First Half
The well-arranged sequence of thirteen letters from A to M is called the first half of the English alphabet.
A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, G = 7, H = 8, I = 9, J = 10, K = 11, L = 12 M = 13
Second Half
The well-arranged sequence of thirteen letters from N to Z is called the second half of the English alphabet.
N = 14, O = 15, P = 16, Q = 17, R = 18, S = 19, T = 20, U = 21, V = 22, W = 23, X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26
Left and Right
The letters of the English alphabet do not have their own left or right, rather we represent the right or left of the letters by our right or left.
In other words, we can say that wherever we are on the right side, the letters are on the right side and wherever we are on the left, the letters are on the left side.
