Common Mispronunciations of Scene
Not SKEEN
A c before e goes soft, so sc at the front of this word gives a single s. Scene and skein are not the same word.
Not SE-nuh
The final e is silent and does its work on the vowel before it, stretching e into ee.
Tip: Scene and seen are said identically. Only the spelling tells you which one is meant.
