E

For the drug sometimes referred to E, see Ecstasy.

E is the fifth (number 5) letter in the English alphabet.

In English it has two main sounds when it is spoken. Usually it is a short E (ĕ), but sometimes it is a long E (ē).

One more thing in English is the so-called magic E, also known as the silent E. That is when a silent e at the end of a word makes the previous e long. Example: morpheme, which is pronounced as morphēm.
