Moon Lander Champion!Anyone here have a thorough list of regular verbs as a pronunciation guide?..or know where to get one? I googled and couldn't find a total list.
My students are constantly putting "finished" under the /Id/ bracket instead of the /t/!
Something comprehensive like:
/t/---------------- - /d/ ---------------- /Id/
stopped------------ pleased--------------- waited
and so on and on.
I also need a final s list.
/s/----------------/z/--------------------/Iz/
fasts------------ blows ----------------watches
Cheers for your help.
Take a look:

Jimbo, do a search. I wrote a comprehensive thing on regular ending verbs last year on the forum. It's great and easy for students to master. Hang on...let me see if I can find it.
I found it: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/the-cla...unciation.html (Lesson plan re 'ed' and 'ing' sounds (pronunciation))
The same rules apply for /s/ and /z/ sounds. If it's voiced then the terminal sound is /z/, if unvoiced, /s/.
Easy peasy, Japanesey.
Moon Lander Champion!Great! thanks bro.
"finished" is /d/Originally Posted by jimbo
Dont think so, T.
Too long in Exile, too long not singing my song.
Too long like a rolling stone, Too long in exile
Too long in Exile, baby you just arent my friend.
Too long in Exile my friend, Baby you can never go home again.
Moon Lander Champion!I concur....constan is wrong.....it is /t/ he must be korean
Wrong, my friend. /sh/ is an unvoiced sound, the terminal is /t/.
There are very few 100% rules in the English language. I believe this to be one of them for, try as I might, I've never found an exception to this pronunciation rule with an English word.
And if Jimbo is right and Const is a Korean then he would pronounce the word finish - ed - uh
Moon Lander Champion!
Don't forget the exception crooked
Nope, sorry, but that one isn't an exception.
"Crooked" can be an adjective, in which case the pronunciation is /id/ but the past tense of the verb "crook", is crook/t/. i.e. She crooked her finger at him with a come hither look.
My 100% belief still stands.
