The past form of irregular verbs in English don’t follow any rules, while regular verbs in English in the past end in -ed. But did you know there are three different ways to pronounce the -ed endings of these verbs? It all depends on whether the verb ends in an unvoiced consonant, a vowel or voiced consonant, or a /t/ or /d/ sound.
Many students ask us about this tricky pronunciation point, which is why Kate recently covered this topic in her Friday live to help you feel more confident using -ed endings in work meetings and beyond!
