Yes, "were" is an exception to the silent E rule. In this case, the letter E is not silent, and it is pronounced as part of the word.
One exception to the silent e rule is when adding endings like -ed or -ing to words ending in a consonant and a silent e (e.g., write to writing). Another exception is with words where the final silent e is dropped before a suffix that starts with a vowel (e.g., change to changing).
Yes. The silent "e" in "rare" follows the silent "e" rule in the English language, where the final "e" is often silent when another vowel follows it.
The silent e at the end of a word is usually there to make the vowel before it long (say its name). For example, "mat" becomes "mate" when you add an e at the end.
Yes, that is correct. When adding a suffix that begins with a consonant to a word ending with a silent "e," the "e" is usually kept to maintain the original pronunciation of the word.
A silent 'e' at the end of a word can change the preceding vowel from short to long. This phenomenon is known as the silent 'e' rule.

The word "weird" is an exception to the rule "i before e except after c".
Yes, as a general rule the e is kept.
Yes, that is correct. When adding a suffix that begins with a consonant to a word ending with a silent "e," the "e" is usually kept to maintain the original pronunciation of the word.
because this ia an exception to the final e rule. (NOVANET)
When adding "ing" to a word that ends with a silent "e," the silent "e" is typically dropped. For example, "hope" becomes "hoping" and "love" becomes "loving." This rule applies to most words, but there are exceptions, such as "dye" becoming "dyeing" and "tinge" becoming "tingeing."
The duration of Exception to the Rule is 1.63 hours.

Rules apply to everyone, so when someone says, "You're no exception" or "You're no exception to the rule", they mean "The rule applies to everyone, even to you."
There is no 'e' and no silent 'e' in the word today.
The long vowel is the i. the e in white is silent MOST but NOT all words with that silent e ending make the vowel before it, long. An exception (of quite a number), is the word EPITOME, where all the vowels are short AND the the e is pronounced as a long e, as in EEL. These are the joyfully confusing twists and turns of the english language.. A short i is found in the word DIG Another long i word is RIDE, again with a silent e
there is no silent letters in marvel
