A long vowel sound is the same as its name
plus a length mark made of two dots ( :
).Actually there are some differences between long and short vowels such as :
short vowels have 6 vowels and long vowels have only 5,Another is that long vowels has
quality sounds through length mark because a single vowel letter is in the end of
a word (or syllable), it usually says its long sound (or its name), as in go and be.
When two vowels go hand in hand in the same word (or syllable), the first vowel
is usually long, and the second vowel is usually silent. e.g., bake makes the /ay/ sound (long a) and the e is silent;In conlusion, I learned that
English vowel sounds varies according their context , the presence or absence
of stress and the tongue shape with the lip position.
