The term "vowel consonant e" (VCE) is a pronunciation tool in learning how to speak English. Generally, when an e follows a vowel-consonant pair (the word "male", for example), the e is silent and the vowel has a "long" sound rather than "short" (the word "mall" has a short a ). This is also known as the "magic e" or "helper e", as it gets the preceding vowel to "say it's name".
