When there is a question word, start with it. What did Maria cook? After did, use the verb in Present.
The Past Simple expresses a past action that is finished/ a completed past action. Examples:
1. ED is pronounced as /t/ after voiceless sound, except /t/. Voiceless sound usually comes from
mouth, not the throat. For example: washed=/sh/. The vocal cords don’t vibrate.
2. ED is pronounced as /d/ after voiced sound, except /d/. It produces the vocal cords and a
vibration or humming sound in the throat. Example: call=called.
3. ED is pronounced as /id/ after T and D. Example: Want=wanted.
Verbs that end in a vowel sound use /d/ pronunciation. Play=played Try=tried Enjoy=enjoyed.
We don’t add any extra syllable when we are pronouncing. Try called. /calld/.
