In English, the ue spelling pattern is often used to represent the long /u/ sound. This sound is commonly heard in words like blue, clue, and rescue.
When spelling the long /u/ sound with the ue pattern, remember that it is usually found at the end of a word after a consonant. For example, in the word cue, the consonant c is followed by the ue pattern.
It's important to be aware of this spelling pattern when encountering new words to avoid confusion. Test yourself on the examples in this word list to help you get used to how ue is often found at the end of a word.
