Does innocent have a long vowel sound?

Let's break down the word "innocent" to see if it has a long vowel sound:

* "in" - This is a consonant digraph, not a vowel.

* "no" - This is a short vowel sound, as the "o" is followed by a consonant ("c").

* "cent" - The "e" at the end is silent, and the "o" in "cent" has a short vowel sound.

Therefore, "innocent" does not have a long vowel sound.
