THE SOUNDS of ENGLISH

THE SOUNDS OF ENGLISH               

THE FINAL ED SOUND.

When using the simple past and 

the past participle (perfect) of REGULAR verbs, 

the ones that finish in ED, have a definite sound.

A PHONETIC RULE

There is a specific pronunciation rule 

USING the vibrations (or NOT) of your vocal cords.  

The TECHNIQUE that I have already shown you 

using your fingers on your throat and 

pronouncing ONLY the final sound 

of the word (here the verb).

Remember to exaggerate while practicing! 
The final sound is of the utmost  IMPORTANCE
it tells the listener that you are speaking of he past!
