Pronunciation: Magic "e"

The objective of the exercises is to understand how to pronounce words which are written with a final, silent "e".
The meaning of the words is not important. Some words are very uncommon.
Here is a question to ask yourself: What is the function of the silent letter "e" at the end of some words? Try and find the answer for yourself as you do the exercises. You can check your hypothesis at the end in the final Magic "e" rule exercise.
