French accents and e muet question
I've encountered the rule on writing accents:
A vowel, if not at the end of a word, gets accent if situated in the end of a syllable
Examples:
épître é-pî-tre
pénétrer pé-né-trer
été é-té
célèbre cé-lè-bre
But also there are the same cases (end of a syllable) where accent is not set and 'e muet' is pronounced
Examples:
secret se-cret
petit pe-tit
fenêtre fe-nê-tre
samedi sa-me-di
leçon le-çon
What is the rule that governs accent writing for e and e muet?
