Frage
Listen to the underlined letters and decide how they are pronounced. Listen again and repeat. What is the rule for pronouncing the final -d sound?
Antwort
- bored /d/
- crowd /d/
- dressed /t/
- married /ɪd/
- stressed /t/
We pronounce the final -d as
- /ɪd/ in words ending in -ted, -ded
- /d/ when the preceding sounds in a vowel, a voiced consonant or the sound /r/, /n/, /m/, /l/
- /t/ if the preceding sound is /s/
