How to Write the Cursive Letter F
A cursive capital F is also similar to its capital handwritten form like many of the other letters. The lowercase cursive f is the more difficult one of the two. The uppercase letter F is like many other letters in the cursive alphabet and does not connect to its lowercase letters when forming a word. However, lowercase f does connect when forming words.
The letter f in cursive usually connects to the letter e in words like:
- ferris
- fearless
An f in cursive also connects to the letter a in many words. Some of these include:
- factory
- family
After you become comfortable with writing the letter f in cursive writings, practice writing “fe” together as well as “fa.” These are called connectors, proper letter combinations, or common letter pairs. Depending on your study habits, it shouldn’t take long to learn proper letter combinations. Practice will help you understand how cursive works, in order to form words.
Now, let’s review how to make a cursive f.
Cursive F: Writing a Capital Letter F
As you see in the diagram (above), begin the capital letter F on the top line, creating the top line of the F. From the center of the top of the F, bring your stroke down to the bottom line, making a small tail off the left side. After, cross the f in the center with a single line.
Please watch our short tutorial video showing exactly how to write both upper and lowercase.
Writing a Lowercase f in Cursive
Begin the lowercase f below the center, dotted line. Bring your stroke up to the top line and loop back around the left side and down below the bottom line. Once below the bottom line, bring your stroke back up the right side and make a small tail off of the letter, towards the right to connect with the other letters.
Lowercase f may take some practice but please refer to our video on how to exactly and proper write the letter.
