How to say the letters -ED at the end of a word
In English, an -ED is added to words to change the tense of the verb. Even though we always add the letters -ED to a word, we pronounce the -ED differently depending on the sounds that precede it.
If the word ends in a t or d sound; then pronounce the -ED as ID.
If the word ends in a voiceless sound t, k, f, th, p, s, ch, sh; then pronounce the -ED as an T sound.
If the word ends in a voiced sound: m, n, l, b, d, g, v, th, z, v, r or vowel; then pronounce the -ED as a D sound.
For example:
Melted is pronounced MELT-ID
Tapped is pronounced TAP-T
Cleaned is pronounced CLEAN-D
If you need practice for this rule, we can help. Check out our digital audio, video, and PDF package to learn this skill today!

How to say the letter -S at the end of a word.
In English, an -S is added to words to make them plural, possessive, or to change the verb tense. Even though the letter is always an -S we pronounce this sound differently depending on the sounds the precede it.
If the word ends in a sibilant sound that ‘hisses’ like s, sh. z, ch, j, zh; then pronounce the -S as IZ.
If the word ends in a voiceless sound t, k, f, th, p; then pronounce the -S as an S sound.
If the word ends in a voiced sound: m, n, l, b, d, g, v, th, r; then pronounce the -S as a Z sound.
For example:
BUSES is pronounced bus-iz
CATS is pronounced cat-s
CABS is pronounced cab-z
