Not necessarily. Some long vowel words do end with an "e," such as "time" or "bone," but there are also long vowel words that do not end with an "e," such as "sky" or "climb." The presence of an "e" at the end of a long vowel word does not determine whether the vowel sound is long or short.

How do you make short vowel words turn into long vowel words?
