The Past Tense of Regular Verbs
Watch these short videos by Paul to review the formation of affirmative statements, negative statements, and questions in the simple past tense.
1. Affirmative statements: Ved
2. Negative statements: didn't V
3. Questions: did ... V ?
In the next two videos, you can review the rules for pronouncing the -ed ending.
The first one, from RebeccaESL, is quite short, but it includes all three pronunciations.
This one from Paul is a little longer. It has some details about how voiced and unvoiced (voiceless) sounds at the end of the verb change the pronunciation of the -ed ending. Paul does not talk about the /id/ pronunciation of -ed, however.
