The average word length, in the English language as it is used, is around 5. That means that shape is not a long word. I said English language as used because short words like "the" will appear often.
"Shape" is a short word, as it is only one syllable.
No, because the "e" in shape does not sound like to letter "e" as if you were saying it. If it had a long e, it would sound like shapy, but it doesn't. Therefore, the word shape does not have a long e.
The word "grape" has a long a sound. The "a" in grape is pronounced as /eɪ/, like in the word "shape."
Yes. The A has a long A as in drape and scrape. The E is silent.
The long trek put me in better shape.
A compound word that starts with shape could be shape up.
Shape is a one syllable word.
No, the word shape has one syllable.
The word rod has a short O sound, as in rob and god. (The long O is in road.)
The plural of shape is shapes.
The word "morph" comes from the Latin word meaning "shape". Therefore, the word "amorphous" means without shape or shapeless blob.
The root word of "shape" is the Old English word "sceapen," which means to "form" or "create."
