Choose the short e sentence that matches the picture

Key Notes :

When a vowel comes before just consonants, the vowel usually does not say its name. It makes a short vowel sound instead.

The letter e is a vowel. When e comes before just consonants, e does not say its name. Instead, it makes a short e sound (/ĕ/), like in net or elf.

net
