how do you pronounce them with all vowel letters
2006-10-09 14:08:42 · update #1
it's how the vowel is pronounced, like this:
the "A" in "cat" is short
the "A" in "cake" is long
ah vs. ay
the "E" in "bed" is short
the "E" in "beet" is long
eh vs. ee
the "I" in "hit" is short
the "I" in "kite" is long
ih vs. eye
the "O" in "hot" is short
the "O" in "rope" is long
aw vs. oh
the "U" in "cup" is short
the "U" in "cute" is long
uh vs. ew
Hope that helps!

A long vowel says it's name. A short vowel does not say it's name.
Example:
Long Vowel.... came game famous in all the previous words a says it's name therefore it is long
Short Vowel.... cat lack fact in all the previous words a does not say it's name
GOOD LUCK

eg of a protracted vowel - prepare, eg of a quick vowel sound - warm pretend is long. It has the sound A Fruit is long. It has the sound U Ice is long. It has the sound I seize is short. It has the sound a kit is long. It has the sound E Cot is short. It has the sound o wish this enables you.

if the enunciation is shorter it's a short vowel
if longer enunciation then it's the opposite
the second answerer gave a good example, the first one is wrong and rude.

there is a. you know how it makes the A and aaahhhhhhhhhhh sound? aahhhhhhh is short.
Were you not able to figure that out by my example?
U and Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh? uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh is short. No duh! Whatever sound the vowel makes that does not sound like the letter itself is short.

In American English, the short vowels are:
A in "cat" (as compared to the long A sound in "late")
E in "dead" (as compared to the long E sound in "deed")
I in "sit" (as compared to the long I sound in "lie")
O in "stop" (as compared to the long O sound in "soap")
U in "cup" (as compared to the long U sound in "soup")
