Pronouncing the '-ed' ending
Many verbs in the simple past tense end in the letters '-ed'. There are three different ways of pronouncing this ending: /t/, /d/, or /Id/.
Do you remember the simple past tense of these verbs?
walk-walked      cry-cried        plan-planned     cost-cost
borrow-borrowed  carry-carried    stop-stopped     put-put
cook-cooked      worry-worried    shop-shopped     read-read
call-called      study-studied                     write-wrote
help-helped      stay-stayed                       ride-rode
live-lived                                         spend-spent
notice-noticed                                     make-made
                                                   teach-taught
I found:
1、轻念/t/，即ed在轻辅音后面念/t/，例：
   finished   helped   passed   cooked
2、元浊/d/，即ed在元音，浊辅音后面念/d/，例：
   borrowed   enjoyed
   called     moved
3、/t//d/之后念/id/，即ed在/t//d/音后面念/id/，例：
   wanted   shouted
   needed   counted
A: Pronouncing the -ed ending.

We live in a wonderful world with a lot of amazing things. Many people like sandwiches, but do you know anything about this kind of food? Sandwich got its name from a man called John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. The man loved playing cards with his friends very much.

Later the food became popular all over the world. Isn't that amazing?
