I think the question needs rewording.

In English, a consonant, vowel, consonant sequence creates a short vowel.

Take my name: Sam

to make the vowel long, we add the silent "e" to the end

Sam becomes Same

Silent "e" makes the preceding vowel say it's name

To elongate a vowel differently we use the consonants r and w

fat becomes fart (for example)
