What are the digraph & trigraph in English (with examples)
A digraph is a single sound, or phoneme, which is represented by two letters.
A trigraph is a phoneme which consists of three letters. However, many people will simply use the term 'digraph' generally to describe both combinations.

In digraphs, consonants join together to form a kind of consonant team, which makes a special sound. For instance, p and h combine to form ph, which makes the /f/ sound as in phonemic.
When two or more consonants appear together and you hear each sound that each consonant would normally make, the consonant team is called a consonant blend.
For instance, the word blend has two consonant blends: bl, for which you hear the sounds for both b and l, and nd, for which you hear the sounds for both n and d.
Digraphs:
ch, which makes the /ch/ sound as in watch, chick, chimpanzee, and champion
ck, which makes the /k/ sound as in chick
ff, which makes the /f/ sound as in cliff
gh, which makes the /g/ sound as in ghost and
ghastly
gn, which makes the /n/ sound as in gnome and gnarled
kn, which makes the /n/ sound as in knife and knight
ll, which makes the /l/ sound as in wall
mb, which makes the /m/ sound as in lamb and thumb
ng, which makes the /ng/ sound as in fang, boomerang, and fingerprint
nk, which makes the /nk/ sound as in ink, sink and rink
ph, which makes the /f/ sound as in digraph, phone, and phonics
qu, which makes the /kw/ sound as in quick
sh, which makes the /sh/ sound as in shore, shipwreck, shark, and shield
ss, which makes the /s/ sound as in floss
th, which makes the /th/ sound as in athlete, toothbrush, bathtub, thin, and thunderstorm
th, which makes the /th/ sound as in this, there, and that
wh, which makes the /hw/ sound as in where and which
wr, which makes the /wr/ sound as in write
zz, which makes the /z/ sound as in fuzz and buzz
Trigraphs:
chr, which makes the /chr/ sound as in chrome and chromosome
dge, which makes the /g/ sound as in dodge and partridge
tch, which makes the /tch/ sound as in catch, match
