A REMINDER: -ed pronunciation

Watch this:




Now some practice:
Exercise 1
Exercise 2
Exercise 3

Exercise 4 (with sounds)
Exercise 5 (Am.E. with sounds)

And now, a song to practise past simple verbs. Enjoy!


Please, do notice the pronunciation of irregular verbs such as SAID /sed/ or BROUGHT /brɔːt/and the pronunciation of regular verb such as BLESSED /blest/ or LOVED /lʌvd/.

Besides, there are other aspects of English pronunciation that you should pay attention to, for instance, when she says "I'M EVERYTHING I AM BECAUSE OF YOU" /ɑɪmevrɪθɪŋ/.
