I have a question about reading?

Question

i dont read so well english. I'm confused in the vowel IE. in some small word , the letter I is the only one that make a sound. for example pie tie

n for long word the letter E sounds. for example priest. but in other moment the both sound for example ambient why? what is the correct way to read it?

Answer 1

As you are discovering, English is a fairly random language when it comes to pronunciation. There is no simple rule and you have to learn each word individually. The words in the following list, although spelt the same do not rhyme:- bough, rough, through.

I'm sorry I cannot be more positive. Life would be a lot easier if English was phonetic!
