3 Simple Pronunciation Tips 😎 Past Tense English Verbs

Improve your English speaking skills by imitating a native English speaker! mmmEnglish online courses: www.mmmenglish.com/imitation-2/
Did you know that the -ed of wantED, askED and lovED are all pronounced differently in English?
It sounds difficult... Complicated! I promise it's not!
In this pronunciation lesson, I'll share three simple rules to help you pronounce past tense regular verbs correctly and sound more natural when you speak English!
Note: My video lessons are created to help English learners to improve their pronunciation and speaking skills. My instruction is intended to support their communication, not train them to a particular accent (& yes, there are many variations in English accents)! Please note that I speak with an Australian English accent.

Hi Emma, your tips and explanations about the pronunciation of the past tense verbs are clear and really helpful for me. Thank you

[@sepali1987]

Thanks Emma, it was an incredible lesson, amazingly clear and easygoing. I am sure working on -"ed" pronunciation will help me sound more fluent and natural. I love the phonetic charts, pretty useful for everyone, specially for autodidacts like me. Once again thanks, I will be waiting for your next video.

[@helderblsba]

[@Zorroxyz123]

Very practical, useful lesson. I read about these pronunciations in the past, but now we have the sounds, the listening, as well.

[@tidason]

As all of your videos are so interesting for English learners, MmmEnglish doesn't let me another choice than subscribing to the channel. I was so struggling with past participle verb pronunciation, now I know by heart the rules. That will make me more confident for sure. Thank you Emma

[@ganeshbaruwal4474]

Thank you four support !!!

[@Dr.Rafiqshamiry]

Thank you so much Emma for this brilliant explanation of voiced and unvoiced past tense pronunciation. Arab students encounter a real difficulty with the cluster sounds. For example, it is difficult to pronounce (asked) correctly with /t/ sound. They usually pronounce it as//askid/ Moreover, they pronounce the /k/ sound in the past tense /asked/. As a native speaker of English, you know /k/ sound is dropped in the past tense and as a result it should be pronounced as /a:st/ in British English. I would be very grateful if you could focus on such issues to help your students all over the world. Thanks again.

[@SR-er6hx]

Rafiq, In reality, only handful native speakers pronounce the endings. They are usually elided and stress is used to hint that it's past tense. Even non-native speakers can feel that it's awkward to pronounce them in normal speech.

[@TheThinkingLens746]

omg, that was very helpful thanks for that and I love mmm English.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

I'm so pleased to hear that, Hussein!

[@saienglishacademy6993]

I have my own English channel for teaching the basic grammars to my community. It is for the beginners to help them know how to start but I do not teach them how to pronounce. I prefer finding the native speakers’ video, which I enjoy accent, to share them how to speak and pronounce correctly because I want them to be better in pronunciation and communication. Thank you for your nice video. I love it.

[@gustavofigueiredo9804]

Amazing!!

Thanks Emma from Dominican Republic , you are a very good teacher.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Thank you Nathalia 💕

[@antoniopedroza4502]

Hi Emma, I really enjoy your classes. A good way to know if the sound is voice or unvoice is put your hand in your throat and pronounce the simple past word. If you fell the vibration on the last part of the word it means the sound is voice and therefore the pronounce of ed is /d/ otherwise the sound is unvoice, so the pronunce is /t/. Thanks for spending your time with us.

[@carlosalbertomartinezflore3145]

Hello Emma. Great lessons! Note: Rub is one of those verbs that double their last consonant when conjugated. so rub becomes RUBBED.

[@africaarise5448]

You double the consonant when the vowel before the consonant is stressed. Example: prefer becomes preferred. However, offer becomes offered with one /r/ because the /e/ before the /r/ isn’t stressed in the word ‘offer’

[@antoniocarlosmendesmendes5096]

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

No worries!

[@adanshire6928]

Kep on

[@vanessazuniga285]

Diaa Nabil lol

[@user-wo8bb4no8o]

Yoooooooo

[@yessir1076]

When I'm watching videos like these I understand everything, or at least more than 70%, but when I'm listening to people talking next to me, or to me, I have no idea what are they talking about... wth...

[@nurshazwana5114]

This is exactly me....

[@Ana.Irena1771]

SHADOWKILLER Completely right!!! 👍🏻

[@paulofernandocosta2075]

Yes. All of you are right. Listen native speakers are much more difficult than listen Emma. I am very disappointed with this frustration. Emma is a very good teacher.

[@wachachaww]

Thiny 、 she speaks slowly and clearly. Native speakers use slang, linking words, pronunciation and talk fast.

[@Farson7071]

ya somos dos

[@colbinbarrita288]

focus in your sight happy watching.thanks mmmenglish

[@glennpavel4800]

I love your pronunciation and the way you talk, and your video is very helpful

[@andreyrybachek7200]

I suppose there is a mistake in the video. 6:08 We double the last consonant if a verb ends in a vowel plus consonant. So rub + ed becomes rubbed. I,m not a native so I can be wrong :-)

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

You are not wrong!! I just noticed that error too :( It should be rubBED

[@ittizanqurt9474]

It's meant to be a pronunciation lesson any way not a spelling one☺☺☺☺☺

[@andreyrybachek7200]

Ittizan Qurt yeah that's right

[@someone-hk3so]

BOG !!!! Its cool that you realised that mistake 😃!

[@andreyrybachek7200]

Someone why do u think so ???

[@remmasebigan8166]

I subscribed to you last year. I really like you because aside from your fantastic explanation, you replied to my question. I really thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
