And I've got a nice basic english video for you here today.

Now I'm going to talk to you about Silent E.

Now a silent letter is a letter in a word that we don't say.

It's just there.

We write the word.

We write the letter.

But when we read the word, we don't say that letter.

Now Silent E.

Kind of a Tricky one here.

And I've got some examples to help you.

Now, if you can remember your vowels A E I O U.

Now now each vowel has two different sounds.

The short sound and the long sound.

Well silent E is the letter E.

That comes at the end of a word but we don't say the E.

The E is just there to change the vowel sound.

Let's take a look here and I'll show you.

All right.

Now I have this first word here.

Plan.

Okay.

It's like I have a plan for tomorrow.

Okay.

So we know that a plant you make a plan then.

If I do this.

Yeah.

Now it's not plan E.

No.

Now it becomes before it was short a plan.

Now long a plane.

Okay.

Like an airplane.

All right.

Look at the plane in the sky.

Not planning now.

It's long a plane.

Okay.

Next thing going down here, we know this.

This is a man's name, tim.

Maybe you have a friend named tim.

Okay, But and again the s sound that's short.

I it but if we go ahead and if we put silent E there, that means now time.

Okay.

What time is it?

All right.

Not timmy again.

Silent E.

Don't say it.

But now you have the long I sound time.

Alright if you remember plan had the with short A.

So does cap with the sound.

All right.

So, if we have cap right now, let's go ahead and make cape.

All right.

Now we go to long A.

With the cape sound.

All right, keep it going here.

Hop, that's short vowel.

O the aw sound.

All right.

So, we have hop.

I just did one All right.

Now after hop, we put short E.

Don't say hoppy.

We say hope.

It's like I hope it does not rain tomorrow because I'm going to the baseball game.

Things like that.

All right.

Before it was hop.

Now hope with the long vowel O sound.

All right.

Coming up here, We haven't done one with you yet.

Now.

Long you It's a little strange.

It's okay.

But more on that.

So, here's short you tub.

Uh short vowel.

You alright?

From tub?

We put silent E.

Again.

Not tubby.

We say tube.

All right.

A tube of toothpaste.

Okay.

Goes from tub.

two tube.

But still I'm not saying silent.

Eat.

All right after that.

We come down to bit bit means a small piece, you know.

Can I have a bit of your bread?

Well, that's bit again.

Same as tim.

We have the short vowel.

I So again.

Silent E comes in bite Not bitty bite going on there.

Now you're probably getting a good idea of it.

So, I just got two more for you again.

Here.

You know remember uh the short vowel.

You uh Well, here is cut.

Well we go cut now.

Cute.

Okay.

We have cute look at the cute puppy.

All right.

And now, last one here.

I've got rip when you don't have scissors.

All right, well there's rip and then there's ripe long vowel I with a silent E.

So listen to me as I say these we've got plain time kate, hope tube bite, cute and ripe.

Never did I say the E.

Because it's silent.

It's just there to make a long vowel.

Okay.

I hope that was helpful.

And I hope I see you again soon.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.
