تلفظ _ed

Hello friends!

Are you ready for a pronunciation lesson?

Today I’m here to teach you

how to pronounce –ed correctly!

ed can be pronounced in 3 different ways!

it can be: /t/, /d/ or /id/!

You’re surprised, aren’t you?

In this video you’ll see how to find out which!

When –ed comes after a voiced sound,

pronounce it like /d/!

Do you have any idea what a voiced sound is?

Touch your neck

and pronounce a sound;

if the sound makes your vocal cords vibrate,

then that sound is a voiced sound!

For example:

/z/ is a voiced sound

so you have to pronounce this:

/ju:zd/

If you have –ed after an unvoiced sound,

it’s pronounced like /t/!

An unvoiced sound is a sound that

when you touch your neck while pronouncing it,

there’s no vibration in your vocal cords!

For example

/k/ is an unvoiced sound

so you have to pronounce this like:

/wɝːkt/

If –ed comes after /d/ or /t/,

then it’s like /id/!

For example:

want becomes /wɑːntid/

Need becomes /ni:did/

Now you know how to pronounce

these 2 sounds correctly!

Catch you later.
