Many times, adding an E (silent E) to the end of a word with vowel-consonant will create a long vowel word.

Examples:

sat - sate

can - cane

man - mane

din - dine

fin- fine

dun - dune

Do the words mother and brother have a long or short vowel sound?

The words "mother" and "brother" have an "uh" sound that is typically sounded as a short U (compare to mutter).The words "mother" and "brother" have a short vowel sound. A long vowel sound carries the vowel as in "o" in loose or the "e" in femur. Short vowel sounds do not carry the sound of the vowel, as the "o" in foot or the "o" in dog. A good way of showing the difference is to take one word with a short vowel sound such as "bit" and listen to how the I sounds, then make a long vowel sound (eye rather than /ih/ ) and you'd pronounce the word as b-eye-t, which is bite.
