Long e spelled with just e?

You're asking about words where the long "e" sound is spelled with just the letter "e" at the end of a word.

Here's the breakdown:

* Common examples:

* These words usually end in a consonant:

* "be"

* "me"

* "she"

* "he"

* "we"

* "see"

* "three"

* "free"

* "tree"

* Some words end in a vowel:

* "he"

* "she"

* "we"

* "me"

* Important note: While these words have a long "e" sound, they are not considered a "silent e". The "e" at the end makes the preceding vowel long.

* Additional context:

* The "silent e" rule generally applies to words where the "e" comes after a consonant, and it is not pronounced. The silent "e" makes the vowel before it long. For example, "cake" - the "e" is silent, and it makes the "a" sound long.
