Final answer:
The 3-letter word for 'always' is not provided in the options. The letter 'c' spells the [s] sound when followed by 'e', 'i', or 'y'. Letters 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o' are always vowels, while 'y', 'w', and 'u' can be vowels or consonants.
Step-by-step explanation:
The literary 3-letter way to say "always" would be 'aye'. However, none of the options (a) Always (b) Everytime (c) Alltime (d) Forever directly provide a 3-letter term. The correct answer does not appear among the options given. To address the additional provided literacy examples:
- The letter that always follows the <d> in certain words is <u>.
- For the spelling of the sound [j], you should underline the appropriate letters in given words that represent this sound.
- The letter <c> always spells the [s] sound when followed by one of three letters: <e>, <i>, or <y>.
- The four letters that are always vowels are <a>, <e>, <i>, and <o>.
- The three letters that are sometimes vowels and sometimes consonants are <y>, <w>, and <u>.
Remember that vowel and consonant classifications can shape the spelling and pronunciation of different words in the English language.
