How would you teach the rules of pronunciation for the past simple and past participle ending of regular verbs 'ed' to a class of elementary learners?

If the pronunciation of the present form of a regular verb ends in the sound usually written by d or t, the "ed" added to form the past tense or participle should be pronounced as an additional syllable. Otherwise, the sound symbolized by "d" is added to the pronunciation of the present form of the verb, without adding an additional syllable.


How do you teach pronunciation of ed past tense verbs?

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.


Why always wrong is pronounced wrong?

The way the word "wrong" is pronounced might seem ironic, but it's simply a matter of language and pronunciation conventions. English is a complex language with numerous exceptions, irregularities, and historical influences, so it's not uncommon for certain words to have pronunciation patterns that don't align with their spelling.
