.
The final '-e' of an English word is almost never pronounced. I am having trouble thinking of any that are: anemone, resume (one's curriculum vitae)....

On the other hand (and this may be what you mean), words with long vowel sounds in the final syllable are generally spelt with a silent '-e'. (Traditionally, the vowels /ei iː ai ou juː/ (as in bait beet bite boat beauty) are said to be the "long" counterparts of the vowels /æ ɛ ɪ ɑː ʌ/ (as in bat bet bit bot but) which are said to be "short".)
