These are two types of vowel sounds commonly used in pronouncing words. The short vowels have a short sound and the long vowels have a long and holdable sound. Traditionally, long vowels "say their names" (ay, ee, eye, oh, oo and yoo).
In the phrase "bag cake and pan," the words contain both short and long vowels. "Bag" and "pan" have short vowels, while "cake" has a long vowel sound. The vowel sounds are determined by the letters and their placement within the words.
Short vowels are pronounced briefly, while long vowels are held for a longer duration. Additionally, long vowels often occur in words with a silent "e" at the end or when two vowels are paired together. Learning common patterns and practicing pronunciation can help distinguish between short and long vowels.
In the word "defend," the vowels "e" and "a" typically make a short sound.
The "long" and "short" sounds in English refer to the pronunciation of vowels. Long vowels are typically pronounced with a longer duration and the sound is closer to the name of the letter itself (e.g., "a" in "cake" is a long "a" sound). Short vowels are generally pronounced with a shorter duration and often have a different sound (e.g., "a" in "cat" is a short "a" sound). These rules help to differentiate between different vowel sounds in words.
