THE SOUNDS OF ED
If the verb ends with "t" or "d" the final "ed" sounds exactly like "t" or "d"
e.g. want - wanted - (wanted)
wound - wounded - (wounded)
If the final sound of the verb is voiceless (no vibration) such as "sh" "tch" or "s", final t-sound is used:
wash - washed - (wosht)
watch - watched - (wotcht)
pass - passed - (passt)
If the final sound is voiced (with vibration) such "m", "n", "b", "z"; final d-sound is used:
comb - combed - (comd) (notice silent b)
plan - planned - (pland)
sob - sobbed - (sobd)
raise - raised - (reizd)
