In some English words, the silent "e" at the end changes the sound of the preceding vowel from a short sound to a long sound. For example, in the word "hop," the silent "e" changes the "o" from a short o sound to a long o sound in "hope."
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).
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.
No. The EA in head has a short E sound, as in some other words such as bread, tread and thread.

Not all!!! The English language very rarely uses accents, to alter the stress on vowels. In English a mute letter is inserted in to a word to alter the stress on a vowel. Many words in English end in a mute letter 'e', e.g. 'like' . As spelled it is pronounced as 'l-eye-k'. However, if the 'e' was dropped to spell 'lik'. The the 'i' becomes very shorter to an 'eh' or 'ih' sound. Some other word. 'rot' & 'root' .
