My name is Emma, and today we are going to talk about ed pronunciations. So, ed is used in English to show the past tense. We add it to a verb to make it a past tense verb. So, for example, Yesterday , so this is the past, I talked to my friend. Talked with ed is a verb, and it's been put into the past tense; that's why there's an ed . • Now, what's the problem? Well, the problem is I meet many people who are learning English or who have learned English. Some people even have been studying English for years, but they often make mistakes with the pronunciation of ed . This is one of the most common things I see. So, for example, I'll hear people say talk-ed ; Oh, yesterday I talk-ed to my friend. Now, if you listen to how I say it, Yesterday I talked to my friend , there's a difference in the pronunciation. • So, today I'm going to teach you how to pronounce ed , and I'm also going to teach you a very special way to help prevent these mistakes. I call it the blend method. I find this really helps students learn how to pronounce ed correctly. So, if you know that, you know, there's different ways to pronounce ed , you've studied this before, there's something that I can teach you still about ed . And if this is new for you, if you don't know about ed pronunciations, I have a lot to teach you today. • So, to get started, I have this question. How many ways do we pronounce ed in English? Okay, so there are three - that's right, one, two, three. Three ways to pronounce ed in English. What are the three ways? We have - so, this represents pronunciation. This means id , so some past tense words, like wanted , visited , they have this id sound. Some ed just is a t sound, so a t sound, t . So, for example, watched , and then we also have this d . Some ed s sound like a d sound, so for example, planned , planned . So, I'll go over each of these areas in a moment, and we'll look at a lot of common examples for id , t , and d , but first I want you to warm up your ears and get ready to listen. • I have here - one, two, three, four, five, six - six verbs, they're all in the past tense, they all end in ed . I will say the verb, and I want you to choose, is it an id , t , or d ? How am I pronouncing the ed ? The first step to learning ed pronunciations is to get used to listening for ed pronunciations. • So, let's start with the first one, wanted , wanted . Which category is it? It's this one, wanted . • Okay, what about the next one, talked , talked . I talked to my sister. Is it eh-eh or duh ? It's the t sound, talked , and I'll explain why in a moment. • Called , called . Okay, so this is a little bit harder, I think, because you might think it's this, you might think it's this. When I say called , it's actually the d sound. So, and notice I'm not saying talked , called , that's what a lot of people who are learning English say, but the correct pronunciation is talked , called . • Okay, what about this one, watched , watched . Okay, so this is actually the t sound, watched . Not watched , watched . • Okay, decided , decided . This has the id sound, decided . • Let's look at the last one, opened , opened , opened . Okay, I find that usually the ones that have the d sound are sometimes harder for listening, but yes, this one actually has the d sound. • So this might have been difficult for you, and that's completely okay. It takes time to learn to listen for the pronunciations, as well as to say the pronunciations of ed correctly. • Now, what we are going to do is we are going to first cover id , that's the easiest one, then we'll look at t and d and we'll learn when do we pronounce ed as an id , a t or a d .
