Identification of Errors

Error #2: Pronunciation of the regular verbs in the past.

Why this error occurs?

This error occurs because when we conjugate a regular verb in the past tense we add the ending "ed", but this ending is not always pronounced and that is when pronunciation errors occur. There are 3 ways to pronounce regular verbs in the past:

It is pronounced /ɪd/ when it is preceded by “t” or “d”, such as: wanted, expected, needed or awarded.

When preceded by any voiced vowel or consonant, it is pronounced /-d/, as in the cases of played, touched, or moved.

f the “-ed” is preceded by a voiceless sound, it is pronounced as /t/, for example liked, jumped or packed.

Exercise #1: Listen to a story in the past

Listen to the audio of the following story in the past tense and identify the correct pronunciation of each irregular verb. Write the verb in the corresponding column and pronounce the verb with the correct pronunciation.

Henry decided to prepare pizza at home. Henry poured and mixed and measured the ingredients. Then he cooked the tomatoes, and he sliced the cheese and olives. When the pizza appeared ready, Henry shared some with other dogs. The pizza burned a little, but it still smelled good. The dogs thanked him, and they agreed that the pizza tasted delicious.

The chef learned about Henry's pizza. The chef cried, because everybody admired Henry's pizza. The chef apologized to Henry. Then they all lived a happy life together!
