Pronounce the -ed ending /t/ after all unvoiced sounds, except /t/ e.g. jumped, washed. Pronounce the -ed ending /d/ after all voiced sounds, except /d/ e.g. mailed, played. Pronounce the -ed ending /id/ after /t/ and /d/ e.g. painted, handed. I �m sorry, but I don �t have a worksheet handy to send to you. There is a very simple and clear exercise on this in Headway Intermediate if you have access to this book. |

Hi, Naoom, I don �t know if this advice will be useful for you, but when I teach the -ed ending, all I teach is whether to pronounce the "e" or not. It is impossible to pronounce it /d/ after an unvoiced sound and impossible to pronounce it /t/ after a voiced sound - well, not quite impossible, but not natural. Therefore, all the student needs to know is whether the -ed is pronounced as a separate syllable or not. This makes it easier for the students to remember. Bruce |
