What words have the letter E at end of a syllable?

It's not as simple as looking for the letter "E" at the end of a syllable, as English pronunciation can be tricky! Here's a breakdown of what to look for:

1. The "E" at the end of a word often indicates a long vowel sound:

* Example: "mate," "hope," "bike," "cube"

2. The "E" at the end of a syllable can also indicate a long vowel sound:

* Example: "face, "make, "paper, "cable"

3. There are some exceptions where the "E" is silent:

* Example: "have, "live, "cake, "give"

4. "E" can also be part of a digraph that makes a different sound:

* Example: "stage, "sure, "ture, "cure"

In short:

* Look for words with "E" at the end of a syllable, especially when it follows a consonant. This often indicates a long vowel sound.

* Be aware that there are exceptions and some words have silent "E"s.
