Question:

Can you explain Half Rhyme/Slant Rhyme and Pararhyme?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Half Rhymes aren't really rhymes, they just have the same consonant sound at the end of the word (i.e. ill and shell).

Pararhyme is like half rhyme, except ALL the consonants (not just the ending sounds) have the same sounds- the vowels can be different. (i.e. hall, hell)
