- Hello!
The letter "I" does have a short and long sound similar to most vowels. (Aa Ee Ii Oo and Uu (sometimes Yy, for words like "sync" which takes on a long "E" sound, or "Shy" which carries a long "I" sound. .)
Long sound = ey
Examples: pie, lie/sigh, high/dice, rice, ride
You may notice how these six words are seperated. -IE, -IGH, -ICE. The "E" and the "GH" in these examples modify the sound of the "I" to create a fluent long "i" sound.
Short sound = eh
Examples: rid, bid/sick, trick
Most any word which has only an "i" in it can be read as a short "i" sound.
I hope this helped, any questions? Ask here or add me. ^^ Have a good day!0 votedFebruary 24, 20180
