Welcome to our Vowel Digraphs Quiz, where you will test your knowledge of all vowel digraphs concepts of English Grammar. Vowel digraphs, formed by the two vowels, either similar or different, are placed together to generate one sound. For example, the long 'oo' in word foot and 'ee' in feet, 'ai' in words train and rain. This quiz will check your understanding of vowel digraphs and how they're structured in a word. Let's begin the quiz then.
