How do you know when it's vccv or vcv pattern?

To determine whether a Word follows the VCCV (vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel) or VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) pattern, look at the arrangement of the letters. In a VCCV pattern, two consonants come between two vowels, while in a VCV pattern, a single consonant is sandwiched between two vowels. For example, in the Word "basket," the structure is VCCV, whereas in "ocean," it follows the VCV pattern. Analyzing the syllable breaks can also help clarify the structure.
