"GOOGLE" HOW TO PRONOUNCE "ED" AT THE END OF A VERB.

THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRONOUNCE 'ED' IN ENGLISH, IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE LETTER BEFORE.

THE 3 WAYS ARE    1) 'ID', LIKE IN PAINTED, PAINT-'ID'.
                             2) 'D', LIKE IN 'PLAYED'
                             3) 'T' LIKE IN 'HOPED'.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS THIS.

IF THE VERB HAS A 'D' OR 'T' SOUND BEFORE'ED' YOU NEED TO PRONOUNCE 'ID'. IF IT DOESN'T, DON'T PRONOUNCE AN EXTRA SYLLABLE.

BE CAREFUL! IT'S THE SOUND, NOT THE LETTER. 'DECIDE' IS PRONOUNCED 'DECIDE-ID', THOUGH IT ENDS IN 'E'. BECAUSE WE DON'T SAY THE 'E', THE LAST SOUND IS 'D',

EXAMPLES ------WANTED (WANT-ID)
                       ENDED (END-ID)
                       DECIDED (DECIDE-ID)
                       ADMITTED (ADMIT-ID)
                       SUGGESTED (SUGGEST-ID)
                       RECOMMENDED (RECOMMEND-ID)
                       HATED (HATE-ID)
                       INTENDED (INTEND-ID)
                       STARTED (START-ID)

IF THE WORD BEFORE 'ED' ENDS IN IN THE SOUNDS OF 'P','F','S','CH','SH','K' THEN 'ED' IS PRONOUNCED 'T'.

EXAMPLES-------'P' STOPPED
                       'F' LAUGHED
                       'S' PROMISED, FAXED-PRONOUNCED-FAKST
                       'CH' WATCHED
                       'SH' FINISHED
                       'K' WALKED
TAKE THE WORD "STOPPED" FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS PRONOUNCED "STOPT" NOT "STOP=ID"

FOR ALL OTHER WORDS 'ED' IS PRONOUNCED "D".
