About Magic 'E'

As a general rule, magic 'e' occurs when a word ends with a single vowel + a single consonant (except 'r') + 'e'.

 

Magic 'e' changes the sound of the vowel, so that it sounds the same as the letter in the alphabet.

 

For example

 

hat	hate
mad	made
.	.
pet	Pete
.	.
sit	site
win	wine
rid	ride
.	.
not	note
hop	hope
.	.
cut	cute
