Pronunciation: Past Tense Regular Verbs -ed
Resumo
TLDRThe video, presented by Sammy, a student of American English, focuses on pronunciation practice for past tense sounds with regular verbs ending in "-ed". It outlines that although spelling is straightforward (adding "-ed"), pronunciation varies: /t/, /d/, and /Id/. Rules state that /Id/ is used when the verb ends in /t/ or /d/ sounds (e.g., 'wanted', 'needed'), /t/ follows voiceless sounds (/p/, /k/, etc., as in 'helped'), and /d/ follows voiced or vowel sounds (/l/, /m/, etc., as in 'called'). Examples illustrate that different spelling can yield the same sounds, affecting the "-ed" pronunciation. The video concludes with a practice session, asking viewers to pronounce verbs and previewing the next lesson on long and short vowels.
