我们在说英语时,经常会碰到这种情况,一旦遇到单词末尾加了”d”或”ed”后,总会卡住,有些绕口,同时也影响了英语口语的流利度。
之所以会有以上这种情况是因于我们平时对单词末尾加了”d”或”ed”后的发音变化不重视,并未正确地处理好单词加了”d”或”ed”后其末尾音的发音。
今天,我们会对单词后面加了“d”或“ed”后的发音变化作归纳总结,同时做相应的强化训练。这样我们就能正确地发好单词后面加了“d”或“ed”后的读音,不但可以帮助大家提高发音质量,同时也能帮助大家更流利说英语。
单词后加“d”或“ed”后的正确发音
动词过去式或过去分词,在动词后面加“d”或“ed”后,发音会有以下三种情况:
1. 如果单词的最后一个音是:/t/或者/d/,那么加“ed”后,“ed”会读做:/id/
started needed invited waited graduated
2. 如果单词的最后一个音是不发音的辅音如:/p/,/k/,/f/,/s/,//,/t/或/θ/,那么加“ed”后,“ed”会读做:/t/
helped passed reached looked asked
3. 如果单词的最后一个音是:/b/,/g/,/v/,/l/,/r/,/m/,/n/,/ ŋ /,//,/d/或元音,那末么加“d”或“ed”后,“ed”会读做:/d/

请注意:在有些情况下,单词末尾的辅音,如本课中遇到的单词后加了“d”或“ed”后,单词的最后一个辅音如/d/, /t/有时会不发出来,关于这种情况我们会在《Faith口语课堂之流利口语技巧》中讲到并进行强化训练。鉴于本课的学习目的,请同学们在进行本课练习时,不要省略这些辅音的发音。
