RONUNCIATION OF REGULAR VERBS:
After vowels: e.g. queued
1-Pronounce D after voiced consonants (vibration of the vocal cords)
After consonant sounds: B, G, L, LL, M, N, R, V, W, (Y), Z
Cleaned, turned, loved, smelled, cried, lived, listened, studied, played, called
2-Pronounce T after voiceless consonants (No vibration of the vocal cords)
K, P, SH, CH, F, H, GH, S, W, X
Eg.
DanCE / danS/ past /danST/. The rule is about the realization of the sound, not the spelling.
Worked, cooked, helped, looked, washed, watched, touched, danced, fixed, liked, and laughed.
3-Pronounce ID after T or D:
Wanted, needed, rested, painted, visited, tasted
Please read the following sentences:
a- She cleaned (d), cooked (t) and rested (id) last Monday.
b- He repaired (d) his car, washed (t) it and painted (id) it.
c-They called (d) on the phone, watched (t) TV and visited (id) their friends.
