Is comb a long o sound?

No, "comb" does not have a long "o" sound. It has a short "o" sound, like the "o" in "hot" or "box".

Here's why:

* Spelling: The "o" in "comb" is followed by an "m". This usually indicates a short "o" sound.

* Pronunciation: The word is pronounced /kəʊm/, with a short "o" sound.

If you want to hear the long "o" sound, think of words like "boat" or "go".
