Finished watching the lesson, now it’s time to take a test to see how much have you learned from this lesson.
[hr style=”single”]The past simple tense and the past particle of all regular verbs end in -ed.
Example :
- Base verb – Wash
- Past simple – Washed
- Past participle – Washed
There are three ways of pronouncing the ed:-
1) /id/ – If the last sound to the word is /d/ or /t/ then the -ed will sound like /id/
Examples:
- Started
- Ended
- Admitted
- Suggested
- Decided
2) /t/ – If the last sound of the word is unvoiced like /p/ , /f/, /s/, /ch/, /sh/ and /k/ then the -ed sound is /t/.
Examples:
- Stopped
- laughed
- kissed
- watched
- washed
- liked
3) /d/ – For all the words that end with – ed and are voiced then the -ed is pronounced as /d/.
Examples:
- Allowed
- Enjoyed
- Cleaned
- Cried
- Imagined
Hope you enjoy the lesson and keep practicing to get the right pronunciation
The last sound of “English” is unvoiced. It’s same as “wash”, so the -ed of “Englished” is /t/.
