It's a common phrase/rule, there are some words in the english language that don't use the standard vowels (A,E,I,O and U) however in all the words that contain no vowels, there is a Y in the letter examples are (Cry, Fly and Rhythm). It's just a general rule that Y can also be a vowel in some instances.

Sometimes like in the word "Year", it is a consonant. Other times, when it is used in other words, it is a vowel. It depends on the word.

Yes - because sometimes "y" functions as a consonant, as in the word "yellow." Other times, it functions as a vowel, as in "quickly."

because there is y as in fly but there is also y as in yet. So there is a vowel sound in fly but not in yet. It depends on how the word sounds when you say it.

it is because in some words it makes an "e" or "i" sound like in Jeremy (my name ) it is jeh reh mee, or the word my,
