Curso de Inglés Lección 17 Pag. 3

In the Basic Course we said that regular verbs in the past simple tense have three different pronunciations of the 'ed' ending.

Listen to the following verbs in past simple and write them in the correct group. You will hear each verb twice.

called / hoped / constructed / rained / asked / married / passed
saved / phoned / cooked / earned / celebrated / invited / divorced
wanted / finished / translated / landed

Listen again and repeat the verbs.

Now complete the following rules.

Las consonantes con y sin voz.

Una consonante con voz se pronuncia con vibración de las cuerdas vocales. Si pones una mano sobre tu garganta (o tapas tus oídos con los dedos) y dices las palabras que llevan consonantes de voz, puedes sentir la vibración de las cuerdas vocales.

Por otra parte, si haces lo mismo con la siguiente lista de palabras que empiezan con consonantes sin voz, comprobarás que no hay vibración.

Listen to the following sentences and choose /t/ , /d/, /id/ depending on the pronunciation of 'ed' in the past tense of the verb.
