E, or e, is the fifth letter and the second vowel letter in the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. Its name in English is e (pronounced /ËiË/); plural ees, Es or E’s. It is the most commonly used letter in many languages, including Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Latin, Latvian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish.
The Latin letter ‘E’ differs little from its source, the Greek letter epsilon, ‘Î’. This in turn comes from the Semitic letter hĂŞ, which has been suggested to have started as a praying or calling human figure (hillul ‘jubilation’), and was most likely based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicated a different pronunciation. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words); in Greek, hĂŞÂ became the letter epsilon, used to represent /e/. The various forms of the Old Italic script and the Latin alphabet followed this usage.

tl;dr
E is the fifth (number 5) letter in the English alphabet.
In English it has two main sounds when it is spoken. Usually it is a short E (Ä), but sometimes it is a long E (Ä).
One more thing in English is the so-called magic E, also known as the silent E. That is when a silent e at the end of a word makes the previous e long. Example: morpheme, which is pronounced as morphÄm.
