-S and -Ed Endings
Pronunciation of word endings -s and -ed.
In this lesson, we'll learn about two important word endings in English. Each one can be pronounced in different ways. The endings are -s and -ed. There are also rules about spelling changes when we write these words. And those are also important. But we won't talk about them now, only pronunciation. First, let's look at -ed, the ending that shows the past tense and past participle forms of regular verbs. We find this ending in words like missed, played, and wanted. The -ed ending is pronounced in three different ways, depending on the last sound in the base word. It's important to remember that we're talking about the last sound, not the last letter in the word. If the last sound in the verb is /t/ or /d/, the ending sounds like uhd. We add an extra syllable to the word. Wanted, chatted, repeated, needed, attended, receded. If the last sound in the verb is any voiceless sound besides /t/, the ending sounds like /t/. We don't add an extra syllable to the word. Missed, walked, laughed, reached, brushed, developed. If the last sound is any voiced sound besides /d/, the ending is /d/. We don't add an extra syllable. Planned, traveled, raised, played, repaired, rubbed. Let's practice the pronunciation of -ed endings. Look at these verbs and say their -ed form, then you'll hear the correct answer. Discuss. Discussed, the ending sounds like /t/. Stay. Stayed. The ending sounds like /d/. Decide. Decided. The ending sounds like uhd. Stop. Stopped, the ending sounds like /t/. The next ending we'll practice is the -s ending. This ending is used for several purposes, and they all have the same pronunciation rules. We find the -s ending in the third person singular, present tense of verbs as in wants, plays, and misses. We also use it to make the plural forms of regular nouns, as in cats, dogs, and foxes. We find this same ending in possessive forms of nouns, both the singular and plural. These are written with an extra symbol, an apostrophe, but they still sound the same. The singular forms, cat's, dog's, fox's, sound exactly like the plural forms, cats', dogs', foxes'. The -s ending is also pronounced in three different ways, depending on the last sound in the base word. Again, remember, we're talking about the last sound, not the last letter in the word. If the last sound in the word is s, z, sh, zh, ch or dzh, the ending sounds like uhz. We add an extra syllable to the word. Masses, breezes, brushes, branches, judges, boxes. If the last sound in the word is any voiceless sound besides the ones we just listed, the ending sounds like /s/. We don't add an extra syllable to the word. Cats, lamps, laughs, books, envelopes, baskets. If the last sound of the word is any voiced sound besides the ones we listed, the ending sounds like /z/. We don't add an extra syllable to the word. Plans, travels, plays, repairs, videos, reads. Let's practice the pronunciation of -s endings. Look at these words and say their -s form, then you'll hear the correct answers. Discuss. Discusses. The ending sounds like uhz. Stay. Stays, the ending sounds like /z/. Decide. Decides, the ending sounds like /z/. Stop. Stops. The ending sounds like /s/. In this lesson, we've practice the pronunciation of the endings -ed, as in missed, played, and wanted. We've also practiced the pronunciation of the -s endings, as in cats, dogs and foxes. Keep practicing these endings until they feel comfortable and easy to pronounce.
-S y -Ed finales Pronunciación de terminaciones de palabras -s y -ed. En esta lección, aprenderemos sobre dos terminaciones de palabras importantes en inglés. Cada uno se puede pronunciar de diferentes formas. Los finales son -s y -ed. También existen reglas sobre los cambios de ortografía cuando escribimos estas palabras. Y esos también son importantes. Pero ahora no hablaremos de ellos, solo de pronunciación. Primero, veamos -ed, el final que muestra el tiempo pasado y participio pasado de los verbos regulares. Encontramos este final en palabras como perdido, jugado y querido. La terminación -ed se pronuncia de tres formas diferentes, dependiendo del último sonido de la palabra base. Es importante recordar que estamos hablando del último sonido, no es la última letra de la palabra. Si el último sonido del verbo es / t / o / d /, la terminación suena como uhd. Agregamos una sílaba extra a la palabra. Quería, charlaba, repetido, necesitado, atendido, retrocedido. Si el último sonido del verbo es cualquier sonido sordo además de / t /, el final suena como / t /. No agregamos una sílaba extra a la palabra. Extrañado, caminado rió, alcanzó, cepillado, desarrollado. Si el último sonido es cualquier sonido expresado además de / d /, el final es / d /. No agregamos una sílaba extra. Planeado, viajado, planteado, jugado, reparado, frotado. Practiquemos la pronunciación de las terminaciones -ed. Mire estos verbos y diga su forma -ed, luego escuchará la respuesta correcta. Discutir. Hablado, el final suena como / t /. Permanecer. Se quedó. El final suena como / d /. Decide. Decidido. El final suena como uhd. Detener. Detenido, el final suena como / t /. El siguiente final que practicaremos es el final -s. Este final se usa para varios propósitos, y todos tienen las mismas reglas de pronunciación. Encontramos la -s terminada en tercera persona del singular, tiempo presente de los verbos como quiere, juega y pierde. También lo usamos para hacer las formas plurales de sustantivos regulares, como en gatos, perros y zorros. Encontramos esta misma terminación en formas posesivas de sustantivos, tanto en singular como en plural. Estos están escritos con un símbolo adicional, un apóstrofe, pero aún suenan igual. Las formas singulares, gato, perro, zorro, suenan exactamente como las formas plurales, gatos ', perros', zorros '. La terminación -s también se pronuncia de tres formas diferentes, dependiendo del último sonido de la palabra base. De nuevo recuerda estamos hablando del último sonido, no de la última letra de la palabra. Si el último sonido de la palabra es s, z, sh, zh, ch o dzh, el final suena como uhz. Agregamos una sílaba extra a la palabra. Masas, brisas, pinceles, ramas, jueces, palcos. Si el último sonido de la palabra es un sonido sin voz además de los que acabamos de enumerar, el final suena como / s /. No agregamos una sílaba extra a la palabra. Gatos, lámparas, risas, libros, sobres, cestas. Si el último sonido de la palabra es cualquier otro sonido además de los que enumeramos, el final suena como / z /. No agregamos una sílaba extra a la palabra. Planea, viaja, juega, reparaciones, videos, lecturas. Practiquemos la pronunciación de las terminaciones -s. Mire estas palabras y diga su forma -s, luego escuchará las respuestas correctas. Discutir. Discute. El final suena como uhz. Permanecer. Permanece, el final suena como / z /. Decide. Decide, el final suena como / z /. Detener. Se detiene. El final suena como / s /. En esta lección, practicamos la pronunciación de las terminaciones -ed, como en perdido, jugado y querido. También hemos practicado la pronunciación de las terminaciones -s, como en gatos, perros y zorros. Continúe practicando estas terminaciones hasta que se sientan cómodas y fáciles de pronunciar.
