I always get confused in words that have a silent letter, is there a trick or something to it?

silent letters can be confusing, but there are some patterns that make recognizing silent letters much easier to remember: - silent *"b"* or "n" after "m" (climb - autumn) - silent " *K* before "n": (knight, knife) - silent " *gh* " in "igh": (light - fight) - silent "g" before "n": (sign - design) - silent "w" before " r" : (write - wrong) If you can recognize these patterns you'll be able to know how to read a large amount of words that have silent letters.
