The (-ed<\/strong>) ending of regular past forms has \u00a0three\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>sound realizations: [-d<\/strong>] \u00a0[-t<\/strong>] \u00a0[-id<\/strong>], depending on the sounds just before it.<\/p>\n

\"phonemes\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 If the verb ends in a voiced<\/em> phoneme, the ‘-ed’ ending sounds like\u00a0[-d]\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 If the verb ends in a voiceless<\/em> consonant (i.e.: no vibration of the vocal chords), then the ‘-ed’ ending becomes\u00a0\u00a0[-t] \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Neither\u00a0[-t] \u00a0<\/span>nor \u00a0[-d] \u00a0<\/span>can be added to verbs ending in ‘-t’ or ‘-d’: it wouldn’t be perceptible. What we do, we add an extra syllable [-id]<\/strong> . This only<\/span> happens with verbs ending in ‘-t’ (\u00abwaited<\/strong>\u00ab<\/em>) or ‘-d’ (\u00abneeded<\/strong>\u00ab<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\u0398 \u00a0<\/strong>All the past forms that follow are one-syllable<\/strong> words.\u00a0Notice that by mispronouncing these endings, you are causing serious trouble to the listener. You may be saying something like:<\/address>\n
