How do you write the letter e in french?

There are FIVE e's in French: e, è, é, ê AND ë

è is called e grave (and is pronounced like the sound "ai" in "fair")

é is called e aigu (and pronounced ay)

ê is called e circumflex

The e with umlaut you may find in Words such as "Noël", which is French for "Christmas". It is pronounced just as the e with grave accent (e grave).
