Does stood have a long vowel sound?

No, "stood" does not have a long vowel sound. It has a short vowel sound similar to the "u" in "cup" or "put".

Here's why:

* The vowel "oo" in "stood" is pronounced as a short "u" sound. This is a common pronunciation for "oo" when it follows a consonant.

* Long vowel sounds are typically represented by a double vowel or a vowel followed by a silent "e". For example, "see", "tree", "boat", "moon", etc.

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