To pronunce -ed we must pay attention to three different forms of pronuncing. However, first of all we must consider what are vociced and voiceless sounds.
Let's learn the rules!
Voiced and voiceless consonants
Some consonant sounds are voiced and some are voiceless. A voiceless sound is one that just uses air to make the sound and not the voice. You can tell if a sound is voiced or not by putting your hand gently on your throat. When you say a sound, if you can feel a vibration it is a voiced sound.
When ‘–ed’ is added to a verb ending in a voiced consonant or vowel sound the ‘-ed’ is pronounced /d/.
