Assignment 1
1. Research and then tell what the rules are for the pronunciation of final 'ed' in past tense verbs that you saw in this section. How would you teach this to your students? Look in our Resource center for the rule.
Rules for pronunciation:
Pronunciation spelling
I > played /d/ arrive/arrived
You > arrived /d/ wait/waited
He > worked /t/ stop/stopped
She > dreamed/dreamt /dri:md/ or /dremt/ occur/occurred
It > posted /Id/ cry/cried
We >
You >
They >
Pronunciation of the regular past verbs in the regular past always end with a -d in their spelling, but the pronunciation of the past ending is not always the same: play/played /d/
The most common spelling characteristic of the regular past is that -ed is added to the base form of the verb: opened, knocked, stayed, etc. Except in the cases noted below, this -ed is not pronounced as if it were an extra syllable, so opened is pronounced: /@Up@nd/, knocked: /nQkt/, stayed: /steId/, etc. arrive/arrived /d/
Verbs which end in the following sounds have their past endings pronounced /d/: /b/ rubbed; /g/ tugged; /dZ/ managed; /l/ filled; /m/ dimmed; /n/ listened; vowel + /r/ stirred; /v/ loved; /z/ seized. The -ed ending is not pronounced as an extra syllable. work/worked /t/
Verbs which end in the following sounds have their past endings pronounced /t/: /k/ packed; /s/ passed; /tS/ watched; /S/ washed; /f/ laughed; /p/ tipped. The -ed ending is not pronounced as an extra syllable. dream/dreamed /d/ or dreamt /t/
A few verbs function as both regular and irregular and may have their past forms spelt -ed or
-t pronounced /d/ or /t/: e.g. burn, dream, lean, learn, smell, spell, spill, spoil. post/posted /Id/
Verbs which end in the sounds /t/ or /d/ have their past endings pronounced /Id/: posted, added. The -ed ending is pronounced as an extra syllable added to the base form of the verb.
