its because of phonetics q always contains the sound of u. q isn't a full consonant it takes u with it. so while making words q is always accompanied by u
It is a convention, as are all rules of spelling.
'Q' is always followed by 'U' in English words.
No English words end in Q, since Q is always followed by U.
No, Q does not always have a U after it. However, the words in which Q is followed by another letter are often of non-English origin, such as the countries Qatar or Iraq, or the Chinese name Qi. StudyStudent: Yes but in English terms 'u' always follows 'q'.
Yes, Q is generally followed by U.
it is impossilble
Most words which contain a Q that is not followed by a U are words that have been adopted into English from other languages. These thirty-nine examples are taken from the TWL (the Scrabble dictionary):buqshabuqshasburqaburqasfaqirfaqirsmbaqangambaqangasqabalaqabalahqabalahsqabalasqadiqadisqaidqaidsqanatqanatsqatqatsqiqindarqindarkaqindarsqintarqintarsqisqiviutqiviutsqophqophsqwertyqwertyssheqalimsheqelsheqelssuqstranqsumiaqs
That is a rule in the Spanish language. U follows a Q to make the sylable sound depending on the pronuciation needed. In the English language there is a rule to the letter Q that states that a word starting with the letter Q is allways followed by the U as a second letter.
The name of the country Qatar is one. Many other Arabic names have q's which are not followed by u's.
In virtually every word of English origin, q is followed by u. There are exceptions for words we use that are not English. Qatar and Iraqi are examples. Because English is a creolized language, there are exceptions to almost every rule, as people learning English as a second language know.
The U is generally a vowel in most circumstances, and U can rarely be a consonant. In English, the Q always needs a U afterwards and the Q can't be by itself. When you have a Q, it's always written as QU. The U after the Q is a consonant because Q can't be by itself in English. In other cases, U is generally a vowel.
There is NO word in the English language whereby the letter q is not followed by the letter u.
It is not here is a list of words that the rule q is followed by u does not apply to: * buqsha * faqir * QADI * QIAD * QANAT * QASIDA * QAT * QAWWAL * QAWWALI * QIBLA * QINDAR * QINDARKA * QINTAR * QIGONG * QIN * QINTAR * QIVIUT * QOPH * QWERTY * sheqel * sheqalim * suq * tariqa * tranq * umiaq
