-ed Endings

There are 3 final ed sounds in English: /t/, /d/, & /Id/.

The rules are easy!

1. When the sound before the ed ending is a /t/ or a /d/, the ending is /Id/.
2. When the sound before the ed ending is voiced, the ending is /d/.
3. When the sound before the ed ending is voiceless, the ending is /t/.

Homework practice:
Many students say they would like to hear a recording of the homework before they record it. You can find such a recording here. I've included both my husband and myself recording the -ed ending homework. Enjoy and good luck!!
