In the English language, the term "long vowel" typically refers to a vowel sound that is pronounced the same as the name of the letter itself.

Is have a short vowel?

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.


Can is it short a vowel sound?

I believe you are asking about the word 'can'? Yes, it has a short 'a' sound, so is just pronounced 'can'.

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.

Does the word beast have a short vowel sound?

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.
