Hi guys. In this video, we're going to look at the three different ways to pronounce -ed at the end of verbs and adjectives.
I'm talking about words like "needed", "arrived" and "watched".
I know this is something that lots of students find difficult, but thankfully there are some very helpful rules, and those are what we are going to look at in this video.
I'm also going to show you a trick which can help you if you physically find it difficult to say words like "arrived" or "watched".
And keep watching till the end because I'm going to show you some exceptions to the rules as well.

Let's get started.
We're first going to look at verbs whose base form end in a /d/ sound or a /t/ sound.
These are verbs like "need", "decide", "wait" and "create".
You might have noticed that I didn't say verbs that end in D or T.
