Braking and breaking
The vegetable in question is "onion." When the first letter is removed, it becomes "nion," which sounds like "a precious thing." When the last letter is removed, it becomes "oni," which could be interpreted as "a sweet dish name" (though this is a bit of a stretch). Finally, when both the first and last letters are removed, it becomes "ni," which could be a girl's name.
nod (as in the Land of Nod = sleep)
Its actually precise but it sometime sounds like an s

Ding Dong Doh Drat Dial tone Drums Dance music Doorbell Doobie doobie doo

Assumed question: "What is an example of the common rule of just adding "ed" to make the past tense of a verb if it ends with a vowel and then y?". Play becomes played. Survey becomes surveyed. Enjoy becomes enjoyed. Note: some common words do NOT follow the rule, including: Pay becomes paid (sounds like made and played). Lay becomes laid (sounds like made and played). Say becomes said (sounds like red and bed). Buy becomes bought (with silent 'g h' -- sounds like taught and caught).
The letter that sounds like a vegetable is the letter "P", because pea sounds like the letter p.
sounds cool
