No. Words such as cookie, bookie, and rookie end with a long E sound, as with similar words that end in other consonants and Y (bony, booty).
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.
Almost all of the words that end in AY with an "ay" sound (bay, day, hay, say) are at the end of a syllable. It is the AI words that often do not (gain, sail, maim). Other words that have a long A sound are spelled with EY, including obey, prey, and grey. Also words from French that end in E, EE, or ET have a long A sound, such as cafe, soiree, gourmet, buffet.
