Usually vowel sounds ([a], [e], [i], [o], [u] etc) indicate the number of syllables in a word, but some consonants function as syllables, too, especially sonorants, like [m], [n], [l], and dental [s], and especially if they are part of a contracted word:
[that] [s] = 2 syllables
[you] [l] = 2 syllables
[she] [s] = 2 syllables
