Plain and pain.
Yes, "high" and "goodbye" rhyme because they both end with the same sound "-ai" in this context.

Rhymes are based on the ending sound of words, not necessarily their spelling. "Why" and "sylAbol" have a similar ending sound of "ai," which allows them to rhyme, despite the difference in spelling.
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words. An example would be "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain," where the "ai" sound is repeated in "rain," "Spain," "stays," and "plain."
Almost all AI paired words (and AY words) are pronounced with a long A (ay). But those with an R after the AI are classified as R-shaped vowel sounds: a caret A or "air." There are a few exceptions, such as aisle (long I), said (short E) and plaid (short A). A few long A words spelled with AI are: aid, laid, maid, paid, raid waif bail, fail, and other -ail words aim, maim attain, gain, main, pain, rain malaise, raise gait, wait waive
Words with the same vowel sound as "rain" include: Train Gain Pain
No, "came" and "rain" do not have the same vowel sound. In "came," the vowel sound is the long "a" sound /eɪ/, whereas in "rain," the vowel sound is the diphthong "ai" /eɪ/.
The word life has a long I vowel sound, as in lime and wife. Other words with a long I include: I words (isle, mild, find, sign) IGH and IGHT sounds (high, sigh, light, might) IE words (die, lie, pie) EI words (stein, fraulein) AI words (aisle) Y words (my, try, type, rhyme) AY Words from French (bayou, cayenne) UY words such as buy and guy.
"Rain" has a long A sound. The letters "ai" are called a "diphthong." This means two vowels that join together to produce just one sound. Rain, pain, and train all have the diphthong "ai" and are all pronounced with the long A sound.
Yes. The AI pair has a short E sound, to rhyme with fed and led.
