Do you use or ch after a vowel?

It depends on the word and the sound you're trying to create! Here's a breakdown:

* "Ch" is used after vowels when you want to make the "ch" sound (like in "chair" or "church"). This is a common spelling in English.

* "C" alone is often used after vowels when you want to make a "k" sound (like in "cake" or "cat"). However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, the word "ice" has a "c" after a vowel but makes an "s" sound.

Here are some examples:

"Ch" after vowels:

* Peach

* Reach

* Beach

* Witch

"C" after vowels:

* Cake

* Cat

* Ice

* Face

Remember: The best way to know which spelling to use is to look at the word and consider the sound it should make. You can also consult a dictionary if you're unsure.
