Today, we're going to talk about how to pronounce ED for verbs in the past.

2
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:15,529
There are three different ways to pronounce the ED ending for the past tense verbs.

3
00:00:16,309 --> 00:00:20,329
Walked, smelled, and visited.

4
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:24,570
Walked, the ED sounds like T.

5
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:27,089
Smelled, it's D.
