The past simple tense and past
participle of all regular verbs end in -ed. For example:
|
base
verb
(v1)
|
past
simple
(v2)
|
past
participle
(v3)
|
|
work
|
worked
|
worked
|
In addition, many adjectives are made
from the past participle and so end in -ed. For example:
- I like painted furniture.
The question is: How do we pronounce the -ed?
The answer is: In 3 ways - / Id/ or / t/ or / d/
|
If the base verb ends in one
of thesesounds:

* note that it is the sound that is
important, not the letter or spelling. For example, "fax" ends in the
letter "x" but the sound /s/; "like" ends in the letter
"e" but the sound /k/.
Exceptions
The following -ed words used as adjectives are
pronounced with /Id/:
So
we say:

/Id/
- a blessed
nuisance /Id/
- a dogged
persistence /Id/
- a learned professor - the professor, who was
truly learned /Id/

But when used as real verbs (past simple and past

- he aged quickly
/d/
- he blessed me
/t/
- they dogged him
/d/
- he has learned well /d/ or /t/
