Final answer:

The last letter to be added to the English alphabet is z, not w. false

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement in the question is false. The last letter to be added to the English alphabet is z, not w. The English alphabet consists of 26 letters and it ends with the letter z. The statement that the last letter to be added to the English alphabet is w is false.

The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, and over time, these letters have undergone various changes and developments. While w is a unique letter in that it can function both as a consonant and, less commonly, as a vowel in combination with other vowels (e.g., aw, ew, ow), it was not the last letter to be added to the alphabet.

The letters j and v were among the last to be distinguished as separate letters from i and u respectively.
