I was very frightened. (Was is not an action; it describes a state, a situation.)
7. Pronunciation: Regular verbs in the past.
started | /stɑːrtɪd/ |
ended | /endɪd/ |
With all other regular verbs the ed ending is pronounced as /t/ or /d/.
If the verb ends with /p/, /f/, /s/, /ʃ/, /ʧ/ or /k/ (an unvoiced sound), we pronounce the ed ending as /t/.
For example:worked | /wɜːkt/ |
finished | /fɪn.ɪʃt/ |
watched | /wɒtʃ/ |
If the verb ends with any other sound (a voiced sound), we pronounce the ed ending as /d/.
arrived | /əraɪvd/ |
played | /pleɪd/ |
listened | /lɪsnd/ |
Listen to, repeat and record the infinitive and past of each verb.
