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

\nIf your vocal cords don\u2019t vibrate, \u2192 -ED must sound like a \u201ct\u201d. Let\u2019s try it!<\/p>\n
\nIf the word has the \u201ct\u201d or \u201cd\u201d sounds already, \u2192 -ED must sound like \u201ced\u201d. Like so:<\/p>\n
