Hi, everybody.

My name is Alicia.

Today I'm going to talk about how to pronounce the ending e d sound in past tense regular verbs.

So I'm going to talk about how to make the three different sounds that we use when we're using the past tense forms of these for So let's get started.

OK, So ah, as I said, this is for regular past tense for so verbs, which taken e d ending verbs which don't take a needy ending in the past tense.

I'm not going to talk about those in this lesson just e d.

Ending verbs.

So past tense congregations.

Okay, so there are three different pronunciations that we use for this e d sound.

I'm going to talk about each one and kind of a rule that can help you as you try to decide the best or the most correct pronunciation.

Okay, let's first look at a T ending sound so by this t I mean eight sound at the end of the vert.

So a few examples first has walked second, talked and typed, So walked, talked, typed.

You can hear the e.

D sound at the end of each verb.

It's spelled e d.

But the pronunciation is it Sound so walked, talked, typed.

We make a t sound.

So the rule for this.

Why do we use the T sound here when we're looking at the infinitive form of the verb?

So remember, the infinitive form is like the basic form of the verb I haven't underlined in black here.

If the infinitive ends in an unveil voiced sound, we use this t pronunciation, so I'll talk about Unveil voiced in just a moment here.

But in this case, the infinitive forms are walk, talk and type, walk, talk and type.

So the ending sounds air and here.

So these air called unveil voiced sounds.

So, um, for this point and for some points in the rest of this lesson, it's useful to know the difference between a voiced sound and an unveil voiced sound.

So a voiced sound is a sound that we make using our vocal cords.

So the if you put your hand on your throat and you can feel your vocal cords moving like activated.

That's a voiced sound.

An envoy.

Sound, however, is a sound we make without using our vocal cords, something that doesn't require us to activate our vocal cords.

So I said in this case, for the to sound, we use this sound for infinitives, which ended an unveil voiced sound, meaning our vocal cords are not activated.

So here, as I said, walk ends, Nick Sound talk and the nick sound and type ends in a sound.

So, for sounds and sounds are vocal cords are not activated.

We're not using our vocal cords to make this sound, so we apply eight Sound for the end of the firm when were conjugating into past tense.

So this is the first type of pronunciation for today.

Okay, let's look at the second type for today.

The second type is this D ending sound, and by D I mean it like a soft sound.

So a few examples I have smelled, breathed, whispered, lied, booed and need.

So in each of these, you can hear there's this soft D sound for the ending, not an e d sound ed, but sound a soft sound.

So in this case, how do we know that we should use the sound at the end of thes In this case, we should use this sound for infinitives, which end in a voiced sound.

So, as we learned appear voiced sounds or sounds that require us to activate our vocal cords.

So in this case, uh, the end of the infinitive form here smell is the infinitive.

So the ending sound cool requires vocal court activation.

So I'm using my vocal cords to make a little sound here.

Same thing with breathe this th sound at the end of the I have to use my vocal cords to make this sound next one whisperer The er sound here uses my vocal chords.

So I'm using the whispered We see the same thing The last three examples I have here use vowel sounds at the end.

So lied, booed Need these air voiced sounds So we need to use sound to end, uh, to end the word.

So this is when we use the ending.

Okay, let's look at the last type over here.

The last type is this I d ending.

It's like an ID sound.

Let's look at some examples.

So here I have wanted, pleaded and started.

These are all examples of infinitives that end in it or sound so here the infinitive form of my first example want ends in a T sound.

My second example, PLEAD ends in a D sound, and my third example start ended.

It sound as well.

So for infinitives, which end in it or sound a T or a D sound, we use this aid ending so wanted pleaded started.

So these are the three types of ending E D.

Sound pronunciations.

So if you're having trouble trying to decide how to pronounce an E d sound, you can kind of think of these rules to help you, I hope.

But if you want to know, like which sounds Air Envoy Store, which sounds air voiced.

If it's hard for you to determine like when you are using your vocal cords or when you're not using your vocal courts, here's a quick tip.

So here are some or here are the unveil voiced continent sounds.

So the unveil Waste Continent sounds, meaning the continents that we make without using our vocal cords are and the th down and think, think so.

All of the's sounds air unveil voiced.

If we make these sounds were not using our vocal cords to make them so, for example, and and these air common ones.

But we're not actually using, like our voice to make them, so that means that voice sounds are the other sounds.

So if it's not in this list, it's a voiced sound.

One thing to be careful of here, though, is that the th sound in the word like they is actually a voice to sound.

So we have a voiced they th down they and we have an unveil iced th sound like in think think so in the word Think I'm not using my vocal chords in the word they or the for example, I am so th has a voiced and an unveil voiced pronunciation.

So this is something to keep in mind and maybe to help you as you practice.

But these are the three pronunciation types for ending E G sounds.

I hope that that was helpful for you.
