A long vowel sound is the same as its name.

When a single vowel letter is in the end of a

word (or syllable), it usually says its long sound (or its name), as in go and be. When two vowels go hand in hand in the same word (or syllable), the first vowel is usually long, and the second vowel is usually silent. e.g., bake makes the /ay/ sound (long a) and the e is silent; goal makes the /oh/ sound (long o) and the a is silent.

 When a vowel is followed by a consonant, the vowel is short.

A vowel is usually short when there is only

one vowel in a word or syllable, as in cat, bed, and hot. There is both a long and short sound to oo. The short sound appears as in the words book, booth, and took.

A diphthong is a complex sound made by gliding from one vowel sound to another within the same syllable, as in boy and out. Technically, a diphthong is such a sound that consists of two vowels, and a triphthong is such a sound that consists of three vowels.
