In some books, tense vowels are called long and lax vowels are called short. Since you will be learning how to lengthen vowels when they come before a voiced consonant, it would be confusing to say that 'hen' has a long, short vowel. It is more descriptive to say that it has a lax vowel that is doubled or lengthened.
Can we use 'Now that' instead of 'Since' in the blue part without changing the meaning? Thank you in advance.
