Silent letters. English is full of them. And they’re the worst, right? I mean, why does ‘February’ need that R in the middle? Wouldn’t we be better off if ‘could’ didn’t have an L? And don’t get me started on the S in ‘island’. But there is one silent letter that is actually extremely useful, and that letter is… the Magic E.
Welcome to another episode of Everyday English with E2. Each week, we have a look at a different aspect of English grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation. And this week it’s all about spelling! In fact, this E will cast a spell on you! Because it’s magic.
