    Final 'ed'
    Message de amigowhite posté le 09-09-2007 à 00:07:40 (S | E | F)

    Hello
    I would like to check an information about a course of phonetics : it is about the pronunciation of final "ed".
    Regular verbs ending with ed are pronounced in three different ways /t / ,/d/ and /id /. According to the final sound before ed.My question is : how do we pronounce" ed" before the sound /dJ/ like the word changed ,is it pronounced : chandjt with t or chandjd with d ?
    Thank you.

    Hi!
    In "changed", the final sound before the "ed" is voiced and a voiced sound always follows a voiced one in this position.
    So,you pronounce : [nd] with a "d" sound.
    Hopefully you got the point.

    Hi there!
    Here is a link explaining this point :
    Lien Internet

    Hopefully you do understand French, if it isn't the case, then let me know and I'll give you an English version.
    You could add to that lesson, what I've just published concerning voiced and voiceless sounds when dealing with "changed".
    See you.

    Hello denzel
    First of all I want to thank you for the explanation(I understand French),I just want you to give me all the sounds that are pronouced /d/ .You spoke about voiced sound ,because if you don't know the rule and you try to pronounce naturally the word :changed it sounds chanjt.

    The voiced sounds are:
    - all vowel sounds (including the semi-diphthongs involving R), +
    - the consonants B, D, DH (as in this), G, J, L, M, N, V. Z and ZH (as in massage).

    The word "changed" is not at all naturally pronounced /chānjt/, since this would require a cutting-off of the voice between the J and the T, and English doesn't naturally tolerate a change between a voiced and unvoiced consonant (or vice versa) without a vowel in between. Hence "changed" is pronounced /chānjd/.

    The unvoiced consonents (except H) each have a voiced counterpart, to wit:

    CH (J) - F (V) - K (G) - P (B) - S (Z) - SH (ZH) - T (D) - TH (DH)

    The consonants R, W, and Y are semi-vowels. At the end of a word, W and Y do not occur (that is, as sounds), and R appears only as part of a semi-diphthong.

    P.S. For various reasons, I prefer to use English-specific pronunciation notation rather than the IPA system. If you have any question about what sounds my letters refer to, please don't hesitate to send me a private message.

    Hello ,
    1.The final « ed » is pronounced “d” before all the sounds either vowel sounds or consonant sounds
    Example: organized==>organiz/d/
    Changed==>chang/d/==>It is pronounced with “d”

    Except with these sounds:T,D,F,K,P,S,Sh,CH

    2.The final “ed” is pronounced “id” after the sounds “t” and “d”
    Example:started==>start/id/
    Landed==>land/id/

    3.The final “ed” is pronounced “T”after the sounds”F” “K” “P” “S” “sh” “ch”
    Example: produced==>produs/t/
    Laughed==>lauf/t/.... . and so on with all the other sounds

    So how do you pronounce these verbs?
    finish, start, live, kiss, visit, love, close, want, wash, stop
    Solution;
    /d/ live, love, close
    /t/kiss, wash, finish, stop
    /id/start, visit, want
    As for irregular verbs, if you think you know them well, you can try to break the record at at Lien Internet
