On python, how do you test to see whether a letter is preceded by another letter?

Question

for example: for a letter in a word, if the letter is preceded by a vowel..................

how would you write that in pythonic language

for example: if a "h" is preceded by a "s" anywhere in a word, return(True)

the_word("bash")
True

the_word("sushi")
True

a = 'h'
b = 's'

if b+a in "bash": # True
  ..
if b+a in "hello": # False
  ..
if b+a in "sushi": # True

If you want this in a function, just have a and b as parameters
