.::Pronunciation::.

Pronunciation is one of the most difficult things in English. I was reading a few words that I thought were interesting. "break" is pronounced br-ay-k and "steak" is pronounced st-ay-k but "bleak" is pronounced bl-ee-k and "streak" is pronounced str-ee-k. Just by changing some consonants, the whole vowel sound changes even though "ea" is still used.

.::How to Pronounce the Past Tense using "ed" in English::.

There are three sounds that "ed" makes when it is added to a word.
"t" "id" and "d"

The trick is to know when to use each one.

The sound "t" is used when the verb ends in these sounds:
"k" examples: tracked (sounds like track-t) and rocked (sounds like rock-t)
"ch"examples: launched (sounds like launch-t) and fetched (sounds like fetch-t)
"x" examples: waxed (sounds like wax-t) and boxed ( sounds like box-t)
"f" examples: laughed (sounds like laugh-t) and coughed (sounds like cough-t)
"sh"examples: wished (sounds like wish-t) and fished (sounds like fish-t)
