Syllable Division 1. When dividing a word into syllables, we first count the vowels the word has. 2. We have to subtract any silent sounds, like /e/ in move. 3. We also subtract any repeated vowel, like /e/ in stream. 4. The number of the vowels left is the same as the number of vowels. Ms. Ohood Ad-Dera’n

§ Now, read this paragraph describing this painting. Ms. Ohood Ad-Dera’n
Beach The painting Beach was drawn by Mark Gray in 2007. The painting in general is gloomy and busy. About ten miserable men are dragging an old net for fishing. They seem tired and depressed and their clothes are colorful and cheap. The weather is cloudy and warm. Many dark clouds are covering the vast sky, and the sea looks calm and cold.
