This lesson is part of the series on the -ed ending:
A Quick Overview: -ed ending: [t], [d] or [Id]? | A Quick Overview | English
In Depth: [t], [d] or [Id]? | “-ed” Past Tense | English Pronunciation Lesson
As previous lessons have already discussed, the -ed ending in English has three sounds:
[t]
[d]
[Id]
This change in sound results from whether or not the vocal chords vibrate to create the sound right before the -ed ending.
