本期内容：Word Endings

单词的结尾音

Make sure that the final sounds in your words come through clearly and fully. Don’t drop off or shorten the endings!

发音时，注意每个单词后面的音要发的清晰，完整。不要把这个音略掉了或发的很短。例如，特别是以P，B，T，D结尾的单词，很多同学会漏掉这些音。

Three rules for ED endings

Many verbs that are in the past tense end in ED. (Example: Today I walk, yesterday I walked)

很多动词的过去式以ed结尾，发音时要注意的三个事项。

Rule 1

If a word ends in an unvoiced consonant, when adding ED, just add an Unvoiced T

规则1：如果一个动词以清辅音结尾，变过去式+ed后，只需加上音 T。也就是 ed 发 T音。

Example:

Today I jump, yesterday I jumped. (pronounced jump T)

Today I walk, yesterday I walked. (pronounced walk T)

Rule 2

If a word ends in a voiced consonant, add a Voiced D

规则2：如果单词以浊辅音结尾，+ed后，发音时末尾加个音 D

Example:

Today I rub, yesterday I rubbed. (pronounced rub-D)

I cleaned the kitchen.

I poured the milk.

I scrubbed the floor.

I tagged the clothing.

I spilled some juice.

I trimmed the tree.

I moved to California. The clock buzzed all night.

Rule 3

If a word ends in a T or a D sound, we add a Voiced ID

规则3：如果单词以T或D结尾，变过去式加ed后，末尾加上ID音。

Example:

Today, I lift the ball. Yesterday, I lifted the ball.

I heated up my dinner.

He voted this morning.

He handed me his report.

I traded in my old car.
