GEj

GE says “j”

GE at the end of a word says “j” (the J sound), like in 'large' and 'page'.

How this rule works

At the end of a word, GE says “j”. It follows a long vowel or consonant (large, page, cage, huge, stage), where DGE follows a short vowel (bridge, badge).

Remember: GE at the end says J — large, page, huge!
