∙ 11y agoThe suffix "-ed" can be pronounced as /t/ (as in missed) or /d/ (as in spelled and added) depending on the sound that comes before it. This is based on whether the preceding sound is voiced or voiceless.
In called you have (pronounce) /d/, because /l /is a voiced sound; in asked you pronounce /t/ because /k/ is an unvoiced sound; in added or decided you pronounce /id/ because when you have -d or -t at the root of the word, the rule is to pronounce -ed is /id/.
-d - when the last sound before -ed is a vowel or a voiced consonant (e.g., "oo" in glued or "g" in begged) -t - when the last sound before -ed is a voiceless consonant (e.g., "k" in asked) -id - when the last letter/sound before -ed is "t" or "d" (e.g., wanted, demanded)
Yes, like in edit.
no.
The "e" in an "-ed" past-tense verb ending is pronounced as /ɪd/ when the base form of the verb ends in a "t" or "d" sound. For example, in verbs like "wanted" or "needed," the "e" is pronounced as /ɪd/.
Each of these is a unique sound: 'Missed' is pronounced like 'mist'. In the word 'added' the 'ed' is its own syllable - ad ed. 'Spelled' is pronounced like 'speld'.
No. -ed makes it sound like an extra syllable but it isn't.
Yes, "missed" has the suffix sound "t" added to the base word "miss." The suffix "-ed" is used to show that the action of missing has already happened in the past.
"Looked" has a long vowel sound, as the "oo" makes the "oo" sound, which is a long vowel sound.
In the past tense of the verb "text," the final "-ed" is pronounced as a separate syllable, so it is pronounced as "text-ed." The pronunciation is different from words like "worked," where the "-ed" sounds like "t."
That means, what does the word sound like? If you sound it out, like in the word "take," you get t-a-k-e, making take the spelling.
