  • In American English, the E-D ending in words is pronounced three different ways depending on the sound before it.

  • Today, I'm going to teach you how to pronounce ED endings correctly.

  • Also, remember that if you want my specialized pronunciation training, click on the link in the description below.

  • So first, let's see how the ED ending is pronounced

  • when the sound before it is a vowel or a voiced consonant, meaning your vocal cords vibrate when you make the sound.

  • For example, the letter R is a voiced consonant because it has vibration.

  • Listen.

  • So let's use the example of the verb care, which ends with an R sound.

  • If we change the word care to the past tense, it becomes cared.

  • So the ED is just pronounced d-cared.

  • Notice that we don't say cared.

  • We don't add an extra syllable.

  • There's no vowel sound in the ED ending.

  • It's not cared.

  • It's cared.
