Final “ed” of Regular Verbs

“Day dawned, and I directed my steps towards the town. The gates were open, and I hastened to my father’s house. My first thought was to discover what I knew of the murderer and cause instant pursuit to be made .But I paused when I reflected on the story that I had to tell. A being whom myself I had formed and endued with life. I remembered also the nervous fever with which I had been seized just at the time that I dated my creation.”
Adapted from Frankenstein by Mary Shelly

1.There are ten regular verbs in the text
Dawned - directed -hastened - paused - reflected - formed - endued - remembered - seized – dated
2. The final "ed "of the past form of regular verbs has three sounds ,they are pronounced according to the final letter of the infinitive form.
3. The final sound of the infintive form of the verb” to pause” is /z/, so when it is put into the past, its final "ed" is pronounced /d/
Keep in mind:
The final "ed" of regular verbs in the past tense has three sounds:
/t/, /d/ ,/id/
We must pay attention to the sound of the final letter of the infinitive form to decide about the right pronunciation of the final "ed".
Observe:
- to surprise:
The final 'se' is pronounced /z/ which is a voiced consonant when in the past (surprised) we pronounce the 'ed' /d/.
- to hurry:
The final sound is vowel /i/ -hurried- we also pronounce the 'ed' /d/.
- to mark:
The final sound is voiceless consonant /k/ marked- the 'ed' is pronounced /t/.
- to treat /tri:t/:
the final sound is voiceless /t/ that produces the syllable /id/ when we add 'ed' to form the past tense treated /'tri:tid/ and so is it for “to divide”.
- “to divide” /di'vaid/:
the final sound is /d/ which produces the syllable /id/ when we add 'ed' to form the past tense-divided- /di'vaidid/
