Rule contains a long vowel sound in the word "rule." The "u" vowel says its name /u:/, making it a long vowel sound.
Yes. The word rude has a long OO vowel sound (OO) as in rule and room. It rhymes with food.
The vowel "u" in "rule" is considered a long vowel because it says its name (pronounced like "you").
This obeys the standard rule - when a vowel is followed by a single consonant and an E, it has a long vowel sound and the E is silent. Both sounds of "close" have the same long O sound: close (to shut) - clohz to rhyme with nose and doze close (near) - clohs to rhyme with dose
The word rule is a long U (long OO) vowel sound. It can be a plain OO as in cool, gruel, and ghoul. Or it can be the YOO sound as in humid, mule, cute, feud, and fuel.

It has a long O vowel sound (oh), as in the words show or blow. The short O is normally part of the ow diphthong as in cow and how. Also, the rule to remember is if it sounds like the letter O it is a long vowel, as in the words go, bold, hotel, and notary.
You will have a long vowel sound if the vowel is followed by 2 consonants.

I use this rule for deciding between long and short vowels. If I can hear the name of the letter when I say the word out loud, like the a in cake or the o in ocean, then it is a long vowel. A lot of the time, the word has an e at the end of it, like in the words ice, cake, smoke, state. If the vowel in the word sounds like the description of the sound the letter makes, like ahhhh in cat or ehhh in net, then it is a short vowel sound. A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y are vowels and if you can hear the letter, then it's a long vowel. If not, then its short.

I believe you are asking about the word 'can'? Yes, it has a short 'a' sound, so is just pronounced 'can'. The general rule on short words that follow the pattern CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) is that the vowel will usually be short. For example, words such as 'pan, hat, bag, bug, win, hum, sit, wet, pen, dot, hot, tub, map, mud', etc, all have short vowel sounds.
No. When two vowels are next to each other, the general phonics rule is to pronounce the long sound of the first vowel while the second is silent. Beast = Bēst or "Beest" Road = Rōd or "Rode" Weird = Wērd or "Weerd" There are, of course, exceptions, but this is the general rule.
An open syllable is a syllable that ends in a vowel sound, typically making a long vowel sound. Examples include "be" and "to."
Some English words come from forms that used either Y or I to indicate their pronunciation as a long I. The word "kind" is from Old English gecynde ("natural"). German words with kind have a short I sound.
