Tai English - Long Vowel Sounds

The given words "note" and "float" both have the long "o" sound, which is pronounced as /oʊ/. The other two words "dog" and "mom" do not have the long "o" sound. Therefore, the correct answer is "note, float" as they are the only words that contain the specified sound.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that short vowel sounds are pronounced as the actual sound of the letter, while long vowel sounds are pronounced as the name of the letter. For example, the short vowel sound of "a" is pronounced as "æ" in words like "cat," while the long vowel sound of "a" is pronounced as "ay" in words like "cake." Therefore, the statement that short vowel sounds say the letters sound and long vowel sounds say the letters name is true.

The correct answer is "unicorn, fuel" because both words contain the long "u" sound. In "unicorn," the "u" is pronounced like "yoo," and in "fuel," the "u" is pronounced like "yoo" as well. The other words, "mum" and "sum," do not have the long "u" sound. "Mum" has a short "u" sound, pronounced like "uh," and "sum" has a short "u" sound, pronounced like "uh" as well.

The words "bait" and "gate" have a long A sound. In "bait," the AI sound is pronounced as a long A. In "gate," the A is also pronounced as a long A. However, the words "sand" and "tan" do not have a long A sound. In "sand," the A is pronounced as a short A, and in "tan," the A is pronounced as a short A as well. Therefore, the correct words that have a long A sound are "bait" and "gate."

The given words "bite," "sight," and "ice cream" all have the long "i" sound. In "bite," the "i" is pronounced as /aɪ/. In "sight," the "i" is pronounced as /aɪ/ as well. In "ice cream," the "i" is pronounced as /aɪ/ too. Therefore, all three words have the same long "i" sound. However, "igloo" does not have the long "i" sound. It is pronounced with a short "i" sound /ɪ/.

The words "queen" and "green" have the long E sound. In "queen," the long E sound is represented by the letters "ee," while in "green," it is represented by the letter "e." The other two words, "eight" and "eleven," do not have the long E sound.
