Pronunciation of regular verbs in the past: -ED ending

Hello, how are you?

Last class we talked about the pronunciation of -ED endings, remember? Here are some useful webpages!









(Remember NOT to focus on the difference between /t/ and /d/ endings, but DO FOCUS on /id/ endings!)





An explanation in Spanish with audio:  http://www.shertonenglish.com/resources/es/pronunciation/pronunciation-ed.php  

Some practice:

Other useful webpages with explanations and practice:

During the next few days, I'll be uploading more material for you to practice PAST SIMPLE vs. PAST CONTINUOUS.


Have a nice week! :)
