In 3 ways - / Id/ or / t/ or / d/
* note that it is the sound that is important, not
the letter or spelling. For example, "fax" ends in the letter "x" but
the sound /s/; "like" ends in the letter "e" but the sound /k/.
So we say:
If the base verb ends in one of these sounds: | example base verb*: | example with -ed: |
pronounce the -ed: |
extra syllable? | |
unvoiced | /t/ | want | wanted | / Id/ | yes |
voiced | /d/ | end | ended | ||
unvoiced | /p/ | hope | hoped | / t/ | no |
/f/ | laugh | laughed | |||
/s/ | fax | faxed | |||
/S/ | wash | washed | |||
/tS/ | watch | watched | |||
/k/ | like | liked | |||
voiced | all other sounds, for example... |
play | played | / d/ | |
allow | allowed | ||||
beg | begged |
Exceptions
The following -ed words used as adjectives are pronounced with /Id/:
|
|
|

- a blessed nuisance /Id/
- a dogged persistence /Id/
- a learned professor - the professor, who was truly learned /Id/
- a wretched beggar - the beggar was wretched /Id/
- he aged quickly /d/
- he blessed me /t/
