[yujahri]

[repton5]

I told her off because she stole my sweets.

[shafiqa83]

hi can i say like this ; i told her off that she stole my sweet please reply me ok .

[angelica5474]

this is very interesting thanks

[ATG0009]

Yes. but what particular rule do you follow when deciding how to pronounce this differeent sounds? t, d id?

[SheylayamGullath]

This is very useful, but perhaps perfectible, though. Why don't you include the concept of voice/voiceless sounds principle so students could infer when to do this or the other. I see one comment on this and it could enrich the video.

Many thanks

[astengus]

Many Thanks!!

[czipczerrita]

Very helpful video! Thanks!

[migbern68]

Hi, thank for your explanation it is very clear and it just come out a doubt about the word "naked" (it is not a joke) The point is or better saying : Why is this word (naked) pronunced (with "id). I know it is not a verb it just a question.

Thank you.

[helenromero1]

I think this is very useful for my students. A full list of regular verbs would be very interesting for them to recognize the different sounds in English.

[rocinante88]

I guess there is no general rule used to categorized what goes in which column - although the 3rd column looks to be infinitives with T and D endings.

As a native English/Spanish speaker who has studied/taught both I have come to the realization of just how defective on many levels English is as a language. It is just totally illogical. I would never want to learn English as an adult and am grateful to have been born in the US.

[JOMEAL01]

I hope this is useful for my Spanish students. This particular subject is very difficult for them. Thanks a lot!

[DOKIDOKIAngels]

Rebecca! I know that the differences in the final sound depend on either they are affricates or fricatives, etc.. could you explain that please??

[javierpelourson1]

hola

[soyelisraoyte]

that's great :D thank's for all ...

[TOUREabdou]

Merci !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonne pédagogie

[saiyan7x]

thanks a lot i learnd english i sucks ñ_ñ' but i trying.. I will give my best

[sidaduca]

Rebecca, is there any rule to know if one verb is at the first, second or third group or you just can know how to pronunce the verbs by memorizing? Thank you!

[redboyperu]

@sidaduca To know that, remember this functions with regular verbs and to classify them in those groups, you need to do the following: Use your fingers and put them on your throat (looks like hanging yourself) and say the verbs but in the present. The last sound will classify them. e.g. WORK. When you say that word, the ending sound doesn't vibrate your throat so it goes to /t/. PLAY vibrates at the end so goes in /d/ group. If the word ends in /d/ or /t/ (sound), it goes to the last group.

[AZFoodDesign]

Rebecca, i really like these lessons, why don't you have a Billion Subbers?!

[rickycruz12]

thank u!

[numerrita]

Thanks. Although i ask how can one find out if after adding ed, the verb is going to have a d or t sound. Betty azar explains that one needs to say the verb without the ed, and if the last syllable has a voice sound(throat vibrates) it has a d sound when one adds ed. If the last syllable is a voiceless sound (makes the sound with the mouth) it sounds like t when you add ed

[phonicsquest]

If you used a headset micro the eco would disappear, anyway, very clear the explanation Rebecca. You are a good teacher. Also close the window next time, we can hear car horns from outside. Good Job!

[wajahatkhanswati]

thank you

[liliastuff]

Im confused how can I know which word are the one that should be read as t , d or id

[badmuthahubbard]

@liliastuff

If the word ends with an unvoiced consonant sound other than "t" (f, ch, c/k, p, s, x) the -ed should also be unvoiced, as in a "t" sound.

If it ends with a "t" or "d" sound, pronounce the "e" for an "ed" sound.

Otherwise, with most voiced sounds, vowel or consonant, just add the "d" sound with a silent e.

There are some exceptions, but generally, pay attention to the last sound in the present tense.

Hope that helps!

[blacktyke]

@liliastuff for the t sound is with words that end with with a voiceless sound, and words that end with a voiced sound we have the D sound as for the ID sound its all words that end with T or D

as 

[brankco]

@liliastuff Hello. Maybe you already have the answer for the question, but I´ll try to help you even so.

1- When the pronunciation of the infinitive ends with F, K, P or "sibilant" letters (S, Z, SH, CH, X), the pronunciation of the _ed suffix will be T. Ex: stoP - stopped /stapt/, worK - worked /wrkt/, lauGH - laughed /læft/, miSS - missed /mIst/, caSH - cashed /kæsht/, watCH - watched /wótsht/

[brankco]

@liliastuff 2- When the pronunciation of the infinitive ends with Tor D the pronunciation of the _ed suffix will be ID. Ex:

neeD- needed /'niydid/, attenD - attended /'tendid/, visiT - visited /'vIztid/ creaTe - created /kriy'eytid/, want - wanted /'wóntid/, print - printed /'prIntid/

[rhyscannon10]

@liliastuff i apologize for the prick that is replying to you. but i speak english as a first language, and after watching this i'm just as confused as you are. i know how cause i grew up with english, but i don't have any idea how you are meant to know which is whcih

[TeachESL]

Thank you, Rebecca. I will be sending this to my students.

[4Absolut]

How we can distinguish our pronunciation . I want say , does exist any rule to pronunce in third diff ways == Thank you for all lesson.

I want more GRAMMAR LESSONS PLEASE .

[RebeccaESL]

Happy New Year to all of you. Thanks for watching and passing on your feedback. May you have a radiant year in 2010.

[darwinplus010]

thank you very much sweet teacher Rebeca, you are a suit to follow, thanks for passing on the torch :)

[jake847]

I'm confused with this, the Nile include or the Nile includes ??? anyone help please

[4Absolut]

Third person at the infinitive verb you must add a S to the veb . Who , the Nile . Includes ))))

[itsWhitneyMarie]

includes

[HigherPlanes]

That's a sentence fragment. If you form a sentence with a subject and a predicate it'll make sense. For example:

The Nile includes water.

[ddirani4575]

wow, never knew that, was talking wrong all this time. lol

[mzahran24]

Thanks Rebecca.

Thanx Rebecca.................#

[jrodgers1961]

Hi Rebecca, I teach in Thailand and I spend a lot of time on this. You also find that students may try the added syllable on words like looked, saying loo -kid. This is an excellent video with pace and clarity at a high level for learners. If I may suggest, if you also had the 'rules' students could take a screenshot or pause and write them down. That way they can apply the sounds to more than just your examples. But great work all the same.

[RebeccaESL]

@jrodgers1961

Always nice to hear from another teacher. Thanks for your feedback and all the best to you.

[michaelimk23]

american pronunciation ???

[khu999]

thanks for the lesson, it surely helped me with understanding some of the basics of pronunciation!

[juanjisc]

Gracias, pero necesito inglés para básico, desde los saludos ¿Podría enviar los videos?

[miriammagalhaes]

After unvoiced sounds such as p, k, f, s, the final -ed is pronounced like / t /as in the word cat. Note that the -e remains silent. After voiced sounds such as b, , g, v, z, m, n, ŋ, l, and r the final -ed sound is pronounced like /d/ as in good. Note that the -e remains silent. For verbs ending in d and t the final -ed is pronounced Id as in the final two letters of the word did. Note that here the -e is not silent and this final -ed sound adds another syllable to the end of the verb.

[michaelimk23]

isn't it easier to memorize the words like native speakers rather than trying to understand the reason which it is used or pronounced this way ?

[Aneud08]

This video is definitively didactic.. thank you so much!!!

[josemex77]

hi! I am a Mexican man, and I wonder what they have to finish the verbs for the different pronunciations?

There is a rule?

[chomaimai]

thanks

[Mrsvilleneuve22]

This video is an excellent resourse for students...

[ButterflyLiveGirl]

I'm a brasilian girl and like to learn English with your videos! They' re great!!! Thank you, Rebecca!

[Roquez]

Why the sound of "ed" sound different with the word wanted, if has a id sound and the others other examples of id sound have a different sound?

[blackkinu23]

Thanks!!! This will help in class

[darapame]

Thanks Rebecca, you're really practical!

[kasn2]

thank you so much

[RebeccaESL]

Correct pronunciation involves listening as well as repeating the words, so listen carefully to hear minor distinctions in sounds. This should help.

Rebecca

[paunix10]

you're a good teacher :)

[gggggaaarrreeettt]

Glad the video helped you.

Rebecca

[RebeccaESL]

[esunsinverguenza]

[vitrioldrugs]

Thank you very much Rebecca. You help a lot!

[dvdhmvlsc]

very very very very good

[maquito2007]

to recognize the sounds with t they are the verbs that their last sound is voiceless i mean finish in f,s,p,k,s and ch.

the sound that finish in d are the voiced saounds for example: b,g,l,m,n,v,w,z,y and vowels.

And the sounds that finish in id are only t or d as in want- wanted or need - needed.

thank you

[AnadelaAalaZ]

Thank you for your help.

[jetstream2blue]

How to recognize verbs that it pronounces t, d, id? I mean, it's possible that somebody make a confusion and pronounces for example talked with it and not with t. Thank you.
