00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:12,849
Okay, hello everybody. Today we are going to look at the regular past tenses, how to write them, the spelling rules, and how to pronounce them, okay?

2
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:23,449
These two things need a lot of practice, no? Before, of course, it's not learning by heart the rules, just practice, but you have them, okay?

3
00:00:23,449 --> 00:00:48,939
So let's see the spelling rules. When we have a verb that ends in e in the infinitive form, we only need to add the d. Live, lived, stir, stirred. When they end in vowel plus y, we add ed. Stay, stayed, played, played.

4
00:00:48,939 --> 00:00:57,759
When it ends in consonant, plus y, ok, we change the y to an i and add ed.

5
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,399
Try, tried.

6
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,359
Carry, carried.

7
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,200
So again, notice the difference.

8
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,219
Vowel, y, we add ed only.

9
00:01:11,219 --> 00:01:25,219
Consonant Y, we need to change the Y into an I and add ED. When we have one syllable, not,

10
00:01:25,219 --> 00:01:37,980
with a single vowel and ending in single consonant, ok, to make the past for adding the ED, we need

11
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:45,579
to double the final consonant. You see? Now we have two Ds and then we add ED.

12
00:01:45,579 --> 00:01:56,340
Not, noted. Ripped, ripped. And finally we have when we have two syllables, commit,

13
00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:05,700
and the stress is on the second syllable, okay, here, and ends in single consonant,

14
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:13,020
only one T. To be able to make the past or to write it, we need to double the

15
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:23,879
consonant to Ts and add ED. Commit, committed. Prefer, preferred. Sorry, what

16
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:31,080
about the pronunciation of these regular past tenses? Okay, we have three ways in

17
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,680
which the past tense can be pronounced. Let's see. When the infinitive form of

18
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:51,789
the verb ends in voiceless sounds, that is to say p, okay, in p, in a k, in an s, th, sh, f, x or h,

19
00:02:51,789 --> 00:03:00,129
these are consonants we have which are voiceless, okay? Then we pronounce the ed

20
00:03:00,129 --> 00:03:12,189
as a T so ask asked brush brushed dress dressed finish finished stop stopped of

21
00:03:12,189 --> 00:03:17,889
course you have no you don't have to do it like that no asked brushed dressed

22
00:03:17,889 --> 00:03:28,229
finished stopped yes notice here again one syllable okay

23
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:36,550
one single a consonant and only I mean one single vowel and then ending in one

24
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:44,090
consonant we double it and add ed. When the infinitive form of the verb ends in

25
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:54,710
voiceless sounds such as the l v n m r b v g w y and vowel sounds in this case

26
00:03:54,710 --> 00:04:04,969
we pronounce the ED as a D okay agree agreed allow allowed answer answered

27
00:04:04,969 --> 00:04:15,210
cold cold enjoy enjoyed and finally the third way in which we can pronounce the

28
00:04:15,210 --> 00:04:23,189
ED ending is in ID okay if the last sound in the infinitive verb is a T or a

29
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:32,769
D. There is where we use this. Count, counted. Afford, afforded. End, ended. Expect, expected.

30
00:04:32,769 --> 00:04:43,670
Invite, invited. Okay? So again, this is all for...
