I bet you\u2019ve already seen some words that end with \u201c-ED\u201d. And, if you heard those words, perhaps you noticed that the pronunciation of the \u201c-ED\u201d is different depending on what word it is.
\nSo, how do I pronounce the \u201c-ED\u201d at the end of a word? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n

One of the ways to know that is to pay attention to your vocal cords and to the letters that come before \u201c-ED\u201d: Do they make your vocal cords vibrate or not?<\/p>\n

If your vocal cords vibrate, \u2192 -ED must sound like a \u201cd\u201d. Say it after me:<\/p>\n

\u200dSobbed. Traveled.<\/em>
\nIf your vocal cords don\u2019t vibrate, \u2192 -ED must sound like a \u201ct\u201d. Let\u2019s try it!<\/p>\n

\u200dLiked. Practiced.<\/em>
\nIf the word has the \u201ct\u201d or \u201cd\u201d sounds already, \u2192 -ED must sound like \u201ced\u201d. Like so:<\/p>\n

\u200dWanted. Crowded.<\/em>
\nAnd, of course, we have some exceptions to these rules, like \u201cjagged\u201d, \u201ccrooked\u201d, and \u201cbeloved\u201d.<\/p>\n
