Hello everyone,

Today, first, we started with revisions on the pronunciation of the -ED ending in the preterit:

Here is the lesson:

Friday, November 4th

(the fourth)

Remember : pronunciation of –ED (preterit)

La terminaison [ed] se prononce soit /t/, soit /d/, soit /id/.

-      Après les sons /t/ et /d/, on prononce la terminaison /id/ : ex : wanted / decided

-      Lorsqu’à la fin du verbe le son fait vibrer les cordes vocales (ex : earn), on doit prononcer la terminaison /d/ (car ce son vibre aussi).

Ex : earn => earned

-      Lorsque le son final du verbe ne vibre pas, on ajoute la terminaison /t/.

Ex : pass => passed

Exercise : Find the pronunciation of /ed/ :

Lived /d/ – collided /id/– laughed /t/ – grasped /t/ – nodded /id/ – danced /t/

Then, you discovered the final task instructions:

Situation: at a diner

Roles: two customers, a waiter/waitress + a manager

- order food or take the order

- have a conversation

- invent a problem and call the manager
