Question

many consonants silent today were pronounced in middle English. True or false?

Answer 1

Your answer to this would be true, look at some of the old middle English words and spot the differences. Back then they pronounced things a lot differently. If you have any other questions just let me know!  :)

Answer 2

It would be false, words did not change that much since middle English, it was old English where many consonants silent today were pronounced.
