Long “e” Sound (as in “eat”): The “ea” combination can produce the long vowel sound “e.” Words like “eat,” “each,” and “mean” contain this sound.

Short “e” Sound (as in “bread”): In some words, “ea” represents the short vowel sound “e,” as seen in “bread” or “head.”

“e” Sound (as in “dead”): Occasionally, “ea” creates a different sound, like the “e” sound in words like “dead” or “spread.”
