When a word ends in a consonant followed by an "e," the "e" is often silent, and the preceding vowel usually has a long sound. For example, in the word "make," the "a" is pronounced as a long vowel sound due to the final "e." This pattern is common in English spelling and affects pronunciation. Additionally, the final "e" can indicate that the consonant before it is not doubled when adding suffixes, such as in "hope" becoming "hoping."
