Pronunciation

Regular verbs take a -d or an -ed ending in the past tense. The pronunciation of the past tense ending, like that of the present tense ending, depends on the final sound of the verb. After verbs which end in voiced sounds, the -ed is pronounced like /d/. Notice that there is no extra vowel sound added, and the e in the -ed ending is not pronounced. There is no extra syllable, but only an extra consonant at the end of the verb. In some of the examples

below there are as many as three final consonants.
