two vowels that make a long e sound

∙ 10y agoThe vowels "ee" as in "bee" and "ea" as in "beach" can make the long e sound.
Long vowels are pronounced with a greater duration than short vowels. They are typically followed by a single vowel in a word. Short vowels, on the other hand, are pronounced briefly and are usually followed by a consonant in a word.
The word RIDE contains a 'dipthong', which is a combination of two different vowels, in this case the long vowel 'aa' as in 'father' and the 'i' sound as in 'eat', such that the phonetic pronunciation could be written <raaid>. By nature, a dipthong IS a long vowel sound, because it constitutes not one, but two different vowels. Furthermore, since the dipthong in RIDE contains the long vowel 'aa' already, it must be "at least as long as a long vowel".
When two vowels create a diphthong, they should be pronounced as a single sound that glides smoothly from one vowel to the other within the same syllable. This results in a unique sound that is a combination of the two vowels.
The simplest way to describe pure vowels and dipthongs and the difference between them is this: A pure vowel is one vowel making one sound. For example: In the word 'lid', the letter 'i' makes one sound. Dipthongs are two vowels combing to make one sound. For example: In the word 'lied', the letters 'i' and 'e' together make one sound.
Both the E (be, we) and the Y (baby, lazy) can have a long E by themselves. The I can have a long E sound in rare instances such as the words "marine" and Latin/Italian/Spanish pronunciations such as scampi and broccoli. The long E is also produced by vowel pairs: EE words such as feet, meet, and greet EA words such as read, steal, leave, and seat EY words such as key and alley EI words such as receive IE words such as wield and yield AY for the word quay
