Pronunciation: the -ed suffix


Hello everyone!
I believe is easy to know the regular verbs, but sometimes we don't know the correct pronunciation. For this reason, I decided talk about it.


Pronunciation of the past
If the verb ends sounds such as: /s/, /f/, /k/, /ʃ /, /tʃ /, /p/ the '-ed' is pronounced as…
/ t /
If the ends in vowel sounds or in sounds as: /z/, /m/, /l/, /r/, /n/ the ‘-ed’ is pronounced as…
 / d /

If the verb ends in /d/ or in /t/ the ‘-ed’ is pronounced as…
/ id /
