2. Past tense verbs in English
• The past tense with regular verbs is formed by
• Adding –ED to the end of the verb.
• Simple examples are:
• to want=wanted
to ask= asked
to rent = rented
To close= closed
To relax = relaxed

3. There are three groups of pronunciation for the
regular past ed verbs
‘d
• called
• arrived
• Changed
• Closed
‘t
• stopped
• asked
• Missed
• escaped
ed
• Wanted
• needed
• Ended
• Hated
• invited

4. The three different groups of pronunciation
• The group with the most verbs is the ‘D
• The most important group to study is the ‘T group.
Students have the most problems with the past-ed
verbs that take the ‘t pronunciation
• The easiest group is the group with strong ed
pronunciation

5. But how can we know how to
pronounce the verbs correctly?
• The regular past tense verbs are formed
with ed at the end.
• We must look carefully at the letter
before the ed to learn to identify the
kind of pronunciation

6. The most important group of the
three.

• This group is where we must focus the
most.

group.

look closely at the letter of the verb
