What words have a long and silent e at the end?

You're asking about words with a "silent e" at the end, which is a common spelling pattern in English. Here are some examples:

Words with a long vowel sound followed by a silent e:

* ate: (long a sound)

* bike: (long i sound)

* cube: (long u sound)

* hope: (long o sound)

* made: (long a sound)

* name: (long a sound)

* plane: (long a sound)

* smile: (long i sound)

* stone: (long o sound)

* time: (long i sound)

* write: (long i sound)

Words with a short vowel sound followed by a silent e:

* ache: (short a sound)

* cage: (short a sound)

* dance: (short a sound)

* face: (short a sound)

* give: (short i sound)

* have: (short a sound)

* live: (short i sound)

* love: (short u sound)

* make: (short a sound)

* nice: (short i sound)

* place: (short a sound)

* same: (short a sound)

* take: (short a sound)

* wave: (short a sound)

Important Note: The silent e rule applies to one-syllable words. For multi-syllabic words, the e at the end of a word is silent only if the vowel sound is short.
