    There are three different pronunciations of the final -ed ending in regular verbs: /t/, /d/, and /ed/. The /t/ pronunciation is used after voiceless sounds like "p", "s", "ch", while the /d/ pronunciation follows voiced sounds like "l", "v", "b". Finally, the /ed/ pronunciation, which adds a syllable, is used after "t" and "d" sounds.

    REGULAR VERBS: PRONUNCIATION OF ED ENGINGS

    Final ed has three different pronunciations: /t/, /d/, and /ed/ (a) looked-> look/t/ clapped-> clap/t/ missed-> miss/t/ watched-> watch/t/ finished-> finish/t/ laughed-> laugh/t/ Final ed is pronounced /t/ after voiceless sounds. Voiceless sounds are made by pushing air through your mouth; no sound comes from you throat. Examples of voiceless k, p, s, ch, sh, f.

    (b) smell->smell/d/ saved-> save/d/ cleaned-> clean/d/ robbed-> rob/d/ played-> play/d/

    Final ed is pronounced /d/ after voiced sounds. Voiced sounds come from your throat. If you touch your neck when you make a voiced sound, you can feel you voice box vibrate. Examples of voiced sounds: l, v, n, b, and all vowel sounds.

    (c) decided-> decid/ed/ needed-> need/ed/ wanted->want/ed/ invited-> invit/ed/

    Final ed is pronounced /ed/ after t and d sounds. The sound /ed/ adds a whole syllable to a word. Compare: looked= one syllable -> look/t/ Smelled= one syllable -> smell/d/ Needed= two syllables -> need/ed/ Wanted= two syllables -> want/ed/
