​Open syllables

​ When a syllable ends in a vowel sound , it is called an open syllable.

​Open syllables usually have long-vowel sounds.

​example

bonus

​

​bo/nus

The first syllable of the word bonus is bo, it ends in a vowel sound ,thus it is an open syllable.

​

​Since the first syllable ends in a vowel, it is an open syllable, and the o has a long-vowel sound.

​​When a vowel is long, the vowel says its name.

Si as in Si/lent

​

​lo as in lo/cal

​

​

fu as in fu/ture

​

​

​be as in be/side

​

fa as in fa/mous

​

​du as in du/plex

​

​re as in re/turn

​

ba as in ba/by

​

​hu as in hu/man

​ti as in ti/ger

​yet...

​that is not always the case , in the word benefit the syllables be/ and ne/ are open but they don't have a long vowel sound.
