A "long" vowel sound is mainly when you hear the "name" of the letter in a word. A short vowel sound is an exhaled sound, such as "ah" or "eh" or "uh." Some sounds are neither long or short but a combination sound.

Examples:

fat (short A) - sounds like faht (f-ah-t)

fate (long A) - sounds like fayt (f-A-t)

A words that end in Y are typically all "long A sounds" : bay, day, way
