Does sweep have a long vowel sound?

No, "sweep" does not have a long vowel sound. It has a short e sound, which is pronounced like the "e" in "bed".

Here's why:

* Spelling: The word "sweep" has a single "e" at the end, which typically indicates a short vowel sound.

* Pronunciation: The vowel sound in "sweep" is short and quick, not drawn out like a long vowel.

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