Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
According to Place of Articulation, Consonants are divided as follows:
1. Bilabial: where lips come together as in p-b. Examples are: bat, pat.
2. Labio-dental: where lower lip and the upper teeth come together as in f-v. Examples are: fan, van.
3. Dental: where tip of the tongue meets the upper teeth as.
4. Alveolar: where tip touches alveolar ridge as in t-d,s-z,n,l,r. Examples are: tap, dip and zip etc.
5. Palato-alveolar: where consonants are made with the tip or the blade of the tongue against the teeth ridge and the front part of the tongue raised towards the hard palate, thus having two places of articulation. Examples are: ship, chip and jug.
6. Palatal: front of the tongue approximates to the hard palate. It is possible to have palatal plosives, fricatives, laterals and nasals but in English only palatal sound is voiced, semi-vowel j, as in yes
7. Velar: where back of the tongue meets the soft palate. In English, we have four velars as k, g, w. Examples are: kick, whip etc.
Hope this answer helps.
