How to write lowercase e in cursive
Stroke by stroke
- Start on the baseline, or from the previous letter, and swing up and to the right toward the midline.
- Curve back to the left at the top to form a small open loop.
- Come down on the left side of the loop to the baseline.
- Round off on the baseline and rise into the exit stroke.
Common mistakes
- Closed loop. If the loop fills in, e looks like i or like a blot. Leave a visible eye in the middle.
- Loop too tall. A loop that reaches above the midline turns e into l. Keep the top of the loop just under the midline.
- No loop at all. Without the loop, e becomes a c or an i. Make sure the upstroke and the downstroke cross.
Easy to confuse with
Lowercase e is most often confused with l, i and c. The height of the loop tells e from l, the open eye tells it from i, and the crossing stroke tells it from c.
Joining to the next letter
Lowercase e ends low, so the next letter rises from the baseline. In er, the exit becomes the shoulder of r. In es, it climbs to a point for the top of s. En flows into the hump of n, and ed swings right before turning back into the oval of d.

Questions about lowercase e
How big should the loop in cursive e be?
Small. The loop sits below the midline and the eye inside should stay visible. Compare it with l, whose loop reaches the top line.
Why do my cursive e and l look the same?
The loops are the same height. Keep e under the midline and take l all the way to the top line.
