Strap yourselves in, English winners.
Today, we're going to do a big one: ED
endings. So, like I said, ED endings are a
big one, okay? They are everywhere in the
English language, and you need to learn
how to pronounce them effectively. First
off, some language trouble spots: Spanish
speakers... they'll say EEDinstead of ID.
Now, learning how to separate EEE from I
is a subject for another video, but I
might go into it a little bit here.
Spanish speakers will also add the EED
sound to every ED ending whether it fits
or not, like stop-eed or wish-eed. And
this is something that Asian speakers
tend to do, too. They'll add an extra
syllable at the end, so they'll say wisheed or stopeed, and only some ED
endings have the extra syllable. How do
you know? I'll explain it, that's ok. I
will explain everything. And then, lastly,
even when they learn how to do it
technically correct, like wished or
stopped or fried, they'll add an extra
syllable after the end of the word, so
wished-eu, stopped-eu, tried-eu... and so we need
to drop that extra syllable, so there are
three types of ed endings: the first one
is T ED endings. You'll see this with
examples like stopped, wished, slipped...
Then we have D ED endings. These are easy
endings with the D sound at the end, like
dried... hurried... happened... Last, we have ed
'id' ED endings. This is where we add an extra
syllable to the end of the word: wanted...
needed... printed... If you want to know how
to speak and pronounce the T and the D
sounds, that's the subject for another
video. I will include that video as a
link at the end
of this video, but basically the T sound...
your tongue is touching the top of your
mouth...T...T... and then you - when you're doing the
D sound - you're doing the same thing, but
turning on the vocal cords here. D... D...
alright? So ID... that's the other syllable,
and you're probably wondering if you
keep saying EED instead of ID, how do you
say ID? Well, I'll tell you. With EED, the
tip of your tongue - in the front - is
touching the bottom of your mouth, just
behind your upper front teeth, while the
back of your tongue is curved... up that's
the e sound. We don't want EE. We want ID.
So how do we do that? Well the front of
your tongue is in the exact same place -
just behind your lower front teeth - but
the rest of your tongue is just barely
touching the bottom of your mouth, going
all the way back to the back of your
tongue. So it doesn't curve up; it just
kind of slightly hovers above the floor
of your mouth, barely touching the bottom.
And remember, your face and mouth should
be relaxed. Wished... wished... wished... needed...
needed... needed... okay? Good. So how do you
know which ED endings have a T,
like wished, how many of them have a D ED
ending, like dried, and how
do you know which ones have an ID
syllable, like needed? Well, here's where
we explain. So let's go over the first ED
ending. We'll have words like this: wanted...
needed... printed... invented... attracted... I want
you to notice something very careful
here: attract... need... want... print... what do
they all have in common? They all have a
T or a D at the end of the word, and so
whenever you see a T or a D at the end
of the word, followed by ED, this is
the extra syllable ID. Attract ED . Want ED. Need ED.
Understand? Excellent. Let's
go to the next one. Second, we have a T
ED ending. I'll explain to you how to
determine which ED word is a T ED ending.
Let's go into that. So take a look at
these words: snapped... laughed... passed... wished...
watched... and liked. Now look at the
letters next to them: P... F...S... SH...wished
CH... for watched, and finally K...Liked.
These six consonants - or sounds
that have consonants in them - are all the
words that have to do with the T
ED ending. If any of your words end with: p, f,
s ,sh, CH, or k, you know that the ED ending
is going to have a T sound: Liked...
snapped... wished... watched... Laughed. Now this
takes a little bit of time to remember,
but if you practice over time, like... maybe
reading books and keeping maybe a
simple chart next to you explaining that,
you'll get used to doing that naturally,
without even thinking about it, okay?
Let's go on to the D ED ending. Let's go
on to the D ED ending. D ED endings: all
the rest of the consonants and sounds
that happen at the end of words have a D
ED ending to them. Let's look at some
words on the board. Opposed... Strived...
Obliged... Begged... Betrayed... Towed...
Notice none of those words have the six
consonants I told you were connected
with the T ED ending, like P F S SH CH or
K. So if they don't have those letters,
it's D sounding ED ending Let's practice
some words. This was a long one, right? But
we're going to get a little bit of
practice, so you can start learning how
to tell the difference between T D and
ID ED endings. Let's go to the words
That's a lot of words, so we're going to
go through it. I may need to look back
and forth, but we're going to go just
left right, left right, left right... until
we get to the bottom, and you're welcome
to stop and guess which ones have a T ED
ending, which ones have a D ED ending,
and which ones have the ID syllable. So
pause the video, read them to yourself,
and guess which ones are which? And then
go through the video and we'll go
through each of them together, ok? Let's
do it: all right I'm gonna read the words
now: believed... tarnished... rugged... studied...
wrapped... headed... dropped... joined... continued...
treated... coated... promised... walked... lied...
decided... and spied. All right, how did you
do? You're welcome to go through it more
than once if it helps you get better. In
fact I invite you to go through it more
than once to learn the difference. Until
then, I'm going to put some sentences up.
Sentence time! 'I stopped buying dried
fruit because I no longer needed it. I
stopped buying dried fruit
because I no longer needed it.' 'The wood was
treated with a paint that protected it
from rain damage. The wood was treated
with a paint that protected it from rain
damage.' 'If you promised to help you should
have obliged as soon as you were asked.
If you promised to help you should have
obliged as soon as you were asked.' 'We
headed to America: a land filled with
opportunities. We headed to America: a
land filled with opportunities. She
believed she would improve if she
continued to practice. She believed she
would improve if she continued to
practice.' So (whew) that's it for our ED
endings. I may have a supplementary ED
ending video in the future. Until then, if
you like this video, please SUBSCRIBE

if you liked it. In the meantime, check
out my 'Good-to-know' playlist, and also
the video I promised on T and D
pronunciation. Until then, keep on winning
English Winners. I'll see you later.
