The magic e

7 yıl önce

Has anyone heard of the magic e rule?

Basically the rule is:

"The magic e makes the vowel say it's name!"

I know that pronunciation is one of the hardest things in English. There are so many different ways we pronounce letters depending on the word. This rule will make it just a tad bit easier for you. 

Here are a few examples where the rule is played out:

- pin and pine. The first word is pronounced with the i making an eh sound. The second one, the i says it's name. You pronounce the i as you do in the English alphabet.

Some more examples:
- mad made
- kit kite
- bat bate
- mat mate
- bit bite
