5) When three consonants appear together, the last one will belong to a different syllable.
Can you give me an example of a spanish word with three consonants together?

For example **contrato ** (contract). "Contrato" has three syllables: con-tra-to. That rule does not work in this case, I think.

or "cont-rat-o" according to the cited rule. We wouldn't do it that way in English. Is that the point? - PeterRS, Feb 8, 2013
Yes, it is. In Spanish: con-tra-to. - pitocles, Feb 12, 2013
