Third rule: Pronuntiation /ɪd/ The “ed” is pronounced as /ɪd/ when the verb ends in the sounds /t/ or /d/ Example: Want →"Wanted" → /Wantɪd/ Decide →"Decided" → /Decidɪd/

First rule: Pronuntiation /t/ The “ed” is pronounced as /t/ when the verb ends in a dull sound, that is, when there is no vibration of the vocal cords. Example: Relax→"Relaxed" → /relaxt/
