In the English language, Alliteration happens when the words with the same sound come together in the given sentence. They are used repeatedly in a phrase or sentence. The sound is usually produced by the consonants. Moreover, it is not mandatory for the words to be next to each other. One fun feature of the alliterations can be seen in tongue twisters.
