Bonjour Nguyễn,

The -e which becomes é or è is always the one before the verb ending (-er) whereas you will leave the first one (if present) as it is:

Se lever -> Je me lève 
Préférer -> je préfère

Attention: it's different with the subject pronouns "nous" and "vous"

Se lever -> nous nous levons
Préférer -> vous préférez
Mener -> nous menons

 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
