Is future a long vowel word?

No, "future" does not have a long vowel sound. Here's why:

* The vowel sound in "future" is a short "u" sound, similar to the "u" in "cup".

* Long vowels typically have a drawn-out sound. Think of the "a" in "cake" or the "e" in "see".

Therefore, "future" is not a long vowel word.
