Example of Assonance The student entered their puberty stage during their university days. The different bolded words in the above example have the same vowels sounds repeated. But, Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning or neighboring words or words closely put together.

The consonant sounds in English language are 21, which are [b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z]. Some of the Examples of alliteration Banks bails Bright’s brother before buying bread.   NOTE: In alliteration, the sounds must be consonant, then this consonant must be of the same kind at the beginning each word.
