Make?

The [-ed] suffix
in
English can be pronounced 3 ways:
/t/, /d/, or
/id/. How can you tell
when to make what sound?
Let's examine each possibility on its own:
|
t: The [ed]
suffix makes this
sound at the end of verbs which end with sounds like K, P, Th
(thin), Ch, Sh, S, and F.
For example:
"watched"
"helped"
|
id:
The [ed]
suffix makes this sound when verbs end with T or D.
For example:
"created"
"handed"
|
d: The
[ed]
suffix makes this sound when verbs end in any other consonants or in
vowels.
For example:
"blamed"
"played"
"cried"
