No. It doesn't. The letter, ''e, in the word ''new'' . It is short and quick! Thank you and please subscribe and comment and discuss!
The vowels "ee" as in "bee" and "ea" as in "beach" can make the long e sound.
Long vowel
You can add either an E or an A after the E to get a long E sound. The words beet and beatare homophones (sound-alike words).
Yes. The A has a long a sound as in may and take. The E is silent.
The A has a long a sound as in may and take. The E is silent.
The word 'step' has the short e sound. To make the long e sound the word would need to have 2 e's and that would make it 'steep' which is another word altogether.
The word 'sneaker' does not have the short e sound. The combination EA makes the long E sound as in sneak and peek. The EA pair does not always make the long E sound. For example EA in the word 'bread' is a short E sound, and in the word 'break' it has a long A sound.
Yes, the word 'teeth' does make the long e sound. When you see two e's together it is a clue that the word will have the long e sound. Some other words that are like that are beets, seed, and keen.
It doesn't make any sound for itself, but it normally makes the preceding vowel a long vowel sound.Examples:mat (short A) + E = mate (long A)sit (short I) + E = site (long I)dot (short I) + E = dote (long O)However, there are exceptions where the vowel has another sound (come and some have a short U sound).
No. The E could be a long E, as in knee, except that EW is pronounced as "oo" as in the words blue or blew.
The beginning of the word "easy" There are two long E sounds in the word 'easy'. The diphthong ea has a long E sound, and so does the letter y.
No. The EW creates the long OO vowel sound as in new, dew, or flew.
