hello everyone and welcome to English
like a native
today we're going to cover a very common
pronunciation mistake and that is words
ending in e d now it's not surprising
that words ending with ed are regularly
mispronounced because ed on the end of a
word can be pronounced in three ways it
can be pronounced id and it can be
pronounced d or t so how do we
know which pronunciation to use well
here are the simple rules that you have
to follow number one if there is a D or a
T just before -ed then you pronounce
it id for example wanted wanted i wanted
to go home admitted admitted
he admitted his mistake recommended
recommended it was recommended to me by
my friend started started we finally
started the lesson number two if the
word end in any of the following sounds
the ed will
be sounded like a T for example washed
washed we washed the car stopped
stopped they stopped playing watched
watched they felt like they were being
watched laughed laughed i laughed all
day walked walked I walked to work and
number three words ending in any other sound the
ed will be pronounced as a D sound
for example tired tired i'm very tired
today cried cried they cried when they
heard the news cleaned cleaned Anna cleaned
her room, I need to. allowed allowed they were
not allowed in the house so there you
have it
three rules to help you to deal with
that troublesome ED ending if you did
