Hello everyone,

Today, we started with explanations about the pronuciation of the 'ed' ending in the preterit.

This is the lesson:

Monday, October 12^th

(the twelfth)

Pronunciation of [ed] in the preterit

-       Le son [d]: example: changed.

Le son qui précède le « ed » fait « vibrer » les cordes vocales. Donc, le « ed » sera prononcé [d] (car le son [d] fait aussi vibrer les cordes vocales).

-       Le son [t] : example : passed.

Le son qui précède le « ed » ne fait pas « vibrer » les cordes vocales. Donc, le « ed » sera prononcé [t] (car le son [t] ne fait pas vibrer les cordes vocales non plus).

-       Le son [id] : example : wanted / decided.

Le son [id] se trouve après les consonnes “t” ou “d”.

HOMEWORK : Wednesday 14th

The customer wants to order breakfast but it’s impossible because breakfast is served until 11:30 (a.m.)
