What words can you add a silent e to make the vowel long?

Here are some words you can add a silent "e" to make the vowel long:

Short vowel words:

* a: cat -> cate

* e: bet -> bete

* i: bit -> bite

* o: cot -> cote

* u: cut -> cute

Longer words:

* bake -> bake

* hope -> hope

* ride -> ride

* smile -> smile

* time -> time

* true -> true

Important Note: This rule only applies to single-syllable words with a short vowel sound followed by a single consonant. There are exceptions to this rule, and some words with silent "e" don't follow this pattern.
