Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained unless they can be naturally separated into distinct syllables.

French Syllable Structure

French generally avoids ending syllables with consonant clusters, favoring open syllables.

  • The nasal vowel in 'in-' does not affect syllabification.
  • The 'ct' cluster in 'lect' is treated as a single unit.
  • The conditional mood ending '-ais' is a weak syllable and doesn't receive primary stress.
