English language help.. something about the name of a concept of a word…?
e.g. words such as LOOK, GO, COME, SMALL, RICE cannot be devided or split. There are no ‘vocal changes or breaks’ in the word.
But words like ADVICE, BEAUTIFUL, FLOWER can be devided. AD VICE, BEAU TI FUL, FLO WER …
What are these words(phenomena) called then?? Dividable and undevidable words?? The real name ofr this….?

PS There’s only one vowel group in each syllable, so beautiful = bea u ti ful(4 syllables not 3) and ‘ow’ is a vowel group so flower= flow er.
RICE is only one vowel group- the one known as VCE or vowel+consonant+e. The e on the end is working with the vowel before the consonant – in this case an i. You know about the e on the end making the vowel say its name? If not send me an email if you’d like to know more.
Of course, a word made of two joined complete words is called a COMPOUND WORD – though none of your examples would fit it. I’m talking about stuff like “NEWSSTAND” and “NEWSPAPER” and “EYEBROW” – two complete words joined together to make one word.
