Some language books teach the endings for different past tense verbs as:
tid -- as in wanted, started
d -- as in loved, called
t -- as stopped, looked
and they have exercises where students group words according to how the endings sound. I usually ignore these unless a student has an obvious problem with the ending of a verb. For example if a student says look -ed (where the -ed sounds like the name Ed). Then I would correct that pronunciation. Most students seem to get the endings reasonably right.
