To determine if the word "tyrant" follows the V/CV pattern or the VC/V pattern, let's break it down.
In the V/CV pattern, V stands for a vowel and CV stands for a consonant followed by a vowel. This pattern typically represents a long vowel sound.
In the VC/V pattern, VC stands for a consonant followed by a vowel, and V stands for another vowel. This pattern usually represents a short vowel sound.
Now, let's analyze the word "tyrant."
In "tyrant," we have a consonant (T) followed by a vowel (Y), which fits the VC/V pattern. The second syllable starts with a vowel (A). Therefore, "tyrant" follows the VC/V pattern, representing a short vowel sound.
