English WHY - words with -e at the end

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: "Although words with an ‘e’ at the end are very common in english, the ‘e’ is hardly ever sounded. Here is a list of the most common word types that end with the silent letter ‘e’. But, you may ask, if it’s silent why do they have it? There are are a number of reasons: Firstly, to change how other vowels are pronounced in the same word. We pronounce english vowels Ay ee eye oh and you. But these words pronounce the vowels a i o and u: “tap can hat rip bit win not cod hop cut tub hug” The good news is that the vowel ‘e’ is not affected by this at all - so there are no words to learn! Adding the ‘e’ to the end of each word changes how it is pronounced. ‘Tap changes to tape, can to cane, hat to hate, rip to ripe, bit to bite, win to wine, not to note, cod to code, hop to hope, cut to cute, tub to tube, and hug to huge. All of the words now pronounce the first vowel as it is spoken - ay, eye, oh and you. There are a number of very common words that DO NOT change in this way. Listen to the pronunciation of these words and try to remember them: Have, there, where, come, one, none, give, gone, love, are, were, lose, move, service, practice and opposite You’ll notice more as you learn and you can see our video on phonemes to help you. The second way starts with this word - huge. If you remember how it sounded before the ‘e’ was added - as ‘hug’ - you will notice that the ‘g’ has softened from a hard ‘g’ sound, to give us the ‘dge’ sound - as with ‘age’, ‘large’, ‘cage’, ‘change’, ‘image’, and ‘manage’. Similarly, if an ‘e’ appears after the letter ‘c’, the pronunciation ‘c’ is softened, to become ‘advice’, ‘choice’, ‘piece’, ‘slice’, ‘since’ and ‘price’. The third reason is that ‘e’s are added to stop words ending in ‘v’ or ‘u’. ‘love olive give believe glove leave achieve live, avenue continue, clue blue glue argue value and true” all take the silent ‘e’ The fourth reason for the silent ‘e’ is a rule that states ‘all syllables must have a vowel’. Many of these syllables are pronounced as a ‘schwa’ which is the ‘uh’ sound that is not stressed in english words. Note the phoneme versions always show the schwa in between the letters at the end, even though the words are not spelt that way. You will also see that in these examples the ‘schwa’ has been reduced in size to show that it is almost not heard at all! Listen - bubble, cable, article, bicycle, handle, middle, single, ankle, apple, people, simple, bottle, little, puzzle. The silent e can also help you to see when ‘th’ is hardened to pronounce ‘th’. Listen to these examples: ‘breath’ ‘breathe.’ ‘bath’ ‘bathe’. ‘cloth’, ‘clothe’. Sunbathe, soothe, loathe seethe and teethe are other commonly used examples. The silent e is also added to prevent words that are singular - and end with the letter s - from looking like plurals - such as house, mouse, horse, promise, spouse and cause. By the way, there is a list of common words that always sound a single letter ‘e’ at the end - we, be, me, he, she, maybe. I hope you’ve found this useful.
