The Letter K (The English Alphabet)
The letter K is the eleventh Letter in The English Alphabet. It is also the eighth Consonant in The English Alphabet.
As with every Letter in The English Alphabet, The Letter K has two versions in the written form. These two versions are called: The Upper-Case and The Lower-Case.
The Upper-Case K looks like this:

The Lower-Case K looks like this:

Notice that the only difference between The Upper-Case and The Lower-Case K is the size. The Lower-Case K is just a smaller version of The Upper-Case K. You will find that this is the same for quite a few Letters in The Alphabet.

As you learn The Common Tongue of The English Language, you will see that the The Letter K is often followed by The Letter N. When this happens, there is a different pronunciation.
