i-e is a common way to spell the long /i/ sound in English. The pattern involves adding an e at the end of the word, following a consonant. This helps create the long /i/ sound, as in entire, require, and invite.
For example, in the word admire, the i is followed by an e to make the long /i/ sound. Similarly, desire and combine follow the same rule.
