Regular Past Verbs (grouped by pronunciation of ending) 

Pronunciation tips:
People naturally tend to pronounce the voiced /d/ or the unvoiced /t/ correctly; they just need to be reminded that for nearly all verbs, –ed is not pronounced as an extra syllable.

For the few verbs that end with the sound /t/ or /d/, the past ending is pronounced as a separate syllable, /Id/.
