The episode breaks down when “-ed” sounds like “ed,” when it sounds like “t,” and when it becomes a soft “d,” with examples of voiced and unvoiced consonants. Learners also hear natural example sentences and a practice paragraph at the end to reinforce each pattern. This lesson is great for ESL and EFL learners who want to improve speaking confidence, understand Americans more easily and build a stronger foundation in real-life English. Practice Paragraph: Yesterday we visited the lake and watched the birds as they floated on the water. We walked along the trail and laughed at some funny signs we spotted. After a while, we played music on a speaker and danced together by the shore. Finally, tired and happy, we called a taxi and headed home. 🔔 Follow us on social media @LearnEnglishPod and visit our website: Podcast website: https://learnenglishpod.com/ Follow us on social Media: https://linktr.ee/learnenglishpod Take lessons with me: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/8531387 📚Affiliate link for italki: https://www.italki.com/en/i/ref/GBBdbb Affiliate link for Lingq: https://www.lingq.com/?referral=msusc 📝 Vocabulary list: 1) correctly: in a way that is accurate and without mistakes 2) pattern ; a repeated way something works or appears 3) interact with: to communicate or have an effect on someone or something 4) absorb: to take in information and keep it in the mind 5) voiced consonant ; a sound made with vibrating vocal cords 6) unvoiced consonant ; a sound made without vocal cord vibration 7) vocal cords ; the tis…","meta_description":"🗣️In this episode, learners discover the three correct ways to pronounce the English past-tense ending “-ed.” The explanation is clear and beginner-friend…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":721,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/learn-english-podcast-6598180/episodes/how-to-pronounce-the-ed-ending-in-english-3-rules-explained/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learn-english-podcast-6598180/how-to-pronounce-the-ed-ending-in-english-3-rules-explained.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
