Best Answer

Yes. The first E is in an EA vowel pair that has an R-shaped long E (it is shown as a carat i - î ).

The second E is silent, but gives the schwa suffix a trailing sibilant S (KLEER-en-s).

* Unless each word is spoken slowly, you actually hear only one S in "clearance sale" because the S in sale 'absorbs' the trailing sibilant.

Does the word donkey have a silent e?

No, the 'e' sound in the word the is not silent. It is normally pronounced as the indeterminate vowel sound known as the schwa. When it occurs before a vowel sound it is pronounced with a long 'e'.A silent 'e' is not pronounced at all. For example, the 'e' at the end of the word blame is silent: the last phoneme in the word is the 'm'. The 'e' in the could never be silent, as it is the only vowel in the word.
