Rhyme Scheme

Captions available

The idea

The glossary defines rhyme scheme as the rhyming pattern of a regular-verse poem. It is written by assigning a letter to each new rhyme sound: A B A B, A B C B, A A B B. The notation is worth practising, because the exam uses it without explanation.

In practice

A letter for each new rhyme sound.

Where people slip

The exam uses the notation unexplained.
