A short "e" sound is typically pronounced as in "pet" or "met," while a long "e" sound is often found in words like "bee" or "see." The length of the vowel sound is usually determined by the position of the vowel in the word and the number of vowels that follow it. Consulting a dictionary or language resources can help clarify the pronunciation of a specific word.
