A verb typically changes to past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form. However, some verbs undergo a vowel spelling change in their past tense form. This change can involve modifying the vowels of the verb, such as "sing" becoming "sang" or "swim" becoming "swam".
Yes. The A in change has a long A sound, and the E is silent.
It depends on what tense read is. For present tense, I read a lot of books, the vowel sound is a long. For past tense, I read two books yesterday, the vowel sound is short as in red.
The enunciated vowel is "O", OH-PEN. The other vowel in the spelling is the "E".

The word "channel" has the same spelling pattern as "tunnel." Both words follow the consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. In this case, the letters "n-n-e-l" in "tunnel" match the letters "n-n-e-l" in "channel." This consistent pattern makes these two words visually similar in spelling.
V CV is a spelling pattern that refers to a word with a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern. This pattern typically indicates that the first vowel is short and the second vowel is silent. Examples of words with the V CV pattern include "tiger" and "lemon."
No, the "y" in the word "gray" is not a vowel. In this case, the "y" is acting as a consonant, as it is making a consonant sound at the beginning of the word. Vowels are typically defined as the letters A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y when it makes a vowel sound, as in the word "happy."
"Snail" has both a long vowel ('a') and a short vowel sound ('i'). That makes the pronunciation, (SNAY-ill)
Stem shifters in language morphology are words that change their vowel sounds when they undergo inflection. Examples include the German verbs "sing" and "sang," where the vowel sound changes from "i" to "a" in the past tense. Another example is the English verb "swim," which changes from "swim" to "swam" in the past tense.
