I've made several friends along my way.

Some of them I've changed.

I like to think I help them find their voice.



Sally, for instance, had an insulting serpent's tongue.

With my help, she became calming.



William resisted change. However, in some cases,

I was able to influence whomever was near us.



Timothy and I got along quite famously indeed.

When we befriended the popular kid, they wrote an article about it.



Caroline and I are also a power couple.

Trains and even some places of worship have echoed our work.



I tried to make friends with Kevin,

but I may as well have just left him alone.



Paul is consistently useful.

When we go places plus one, we can talk to anybody.



Gabby, it seems, has a mind of her own.

It's tough to predict what we'll end up doing together!



Surely there are cases in which I am unneeded.

I just hope I'm helping them all say what they mean.

Because all alone, I'm just a whisper.

You are:




the letter H, known for combining with other letters to form different sounds.




I've made several friends along my way.
Some of them I've changed.
I like to think I help them find their voice.




These friends are represented by the first letter of their names.




Sally, for instance, had an insulting serpent's tongue.
With my help, she became calming.




As for S (Sally), its sound sounds like something that comes from a snake ("Ssssss!"). But when combined with h you get Sh, which is often said to quiet and calm people down ("Shhhh!").




William resisted change. However, in some cases,
I was able to influence whomever was near us.




Wh is often pronounced the same as W (as in "Wail" and "Whale"). But some people do pronounce Wh with an aspiration where some people do not (such as "Cool Whip" and "Cool Whip"), sometimes heard in the word "whomever."




Timothy and I got along quite famously indeed.
When we befriended the popular kid, they wrote an article about it.




Th is a common digraph in English, especially since it's in the word "The," which is a popular (grammatical) article.




Caroline and I are also a power couple.
Trains and even some places of worship have echoed our work.




Ch begins "Choo Choo" (and, audibly, "Trains") as well as "Church."




I tried to make friends with Kevin,
but I may as well have just left him alone.




Kh does appear in some words (such as "khaki"), but in most of those cases the addition of h appears to have no effect on pronunciation.




Paul is consistently useful.
When we go places plus one, we can talk to anybody.




Ph is often seen in the English language. I'm not sure about "when we go places plus one," however. As for "we can talk to anybody," that can be due to "phonics," or maybe even "phones"? (I'm still not sure how that relates to "places plus one," though.)




Gabby, it seems, has a mind of her own.
It's tough to predict what we'll end up doing together!




Gh is found in words such as "Ghost," "Ghetto," and "Spaghetti," many of which are of Italian origin. In Italian, the letter H is inserted between the letters G and E & I to make G revert back to the sound it makes with "girl," "get," and "go." Otherwise, G would sound like the sound it makes with "giant" and "ginger."




Surely there are cases in which I am unneeded.




In some words, H has no audible effect, as in "Honest" and "Honor."




I just hope I'm helping them all say what they mean.
Because all alone, I'm just a whisper.




Without being combined to a consonant, the H is often aspirated, as in "Hotel" and "Abraham." This aspiration sounds like a "whisper."

You are:




the letter H, known for combining with other letters to form different sounds.




I've made several friends along my way.
Some of them I've changed.
I like to think I help them find their voice.




These friends are represented by the first letter of their names.




Sally, for instance, had an insulting serpent's tongue.
With my help, she became calming.




As for S (Sally), its sound sounds like something that comes from a snake ("Ssssss!"). But when combined with h you get Sh, which is often said to quiet and calm people down ("Shhhh!").




William resisted change. However, in some cases,
I was able to influence whomever was near us.




Wh is often pronounced the same as W (as in "Wail" and "Whale"). But some people do pronounce Wh with an aspiration where some people do not (such as "Cool Whip" and "Cool Whip"), sometimes heard in the word "whomever."




Timothy and I got along quite famously indeed.
When we befriended the popular kid, they wrote an article about it.




Th is a common digraph in English, especially since it's in the word "The," which is a popular (grammatical) article.




Caroline and I are also a power couple.
Trains and even some places of worship have echoed our work.




Ch begins "Choo Choo" (and, audibly, "Trains") as well as "Church."




I tried to make friends with Kevin,
but I may as well have just left him alone.




Kh does appear in some words (such as "khaki"), but in most of those cases the addition of h appears to have no effect on pronunciation.




Paul is consistently useful.
When we go places plus one, we can talk to anybody.




Ph is often seen in the English language. I'm not sure about "when we go places plus one," however. As for "we can talk to anybody," that can be due to "phonics," or maybe even "phones"? (I'm still not sure how that relates to "places plus one," though.)




Gabby, it seems, has a mind of her own.
It's tough to predict what we'll end up doing together!




Gh is found in words such as "Ghost," "Ghetto," and "Spaghetti," many of which are of Italian origin. In Italian, the letter H is inserted between the letters G and E & I to make G revert back to the sound it makes with "girl," "get," and "go." Otherwise, G would sound like the sound it makes with "giant" and "ginger."




Surely there are cases in which I am unneeded.




In some words, H has no audible effect, as in "Honest" and "Honor."




I just hope I'm helping them all say what they mean.
Because all alone, I'm just a whisper.




Without being combined to a consonant, the H is often aspirated, as in "Hotel" and "Abraham." This aspiration sounds like a "whisper."
