Review of Days 15-20: irregular past, wh-questions, future, can/could, may/might, should/must
Pronunciation of -ed endings has 3 sounds:
/t/ (voiceless verbs): walked, stopped, watched
/d/ (voiced verbs): played, called, lived
/ɪd/ (verbs ending in t/d): waited, needed, started

"Raju says "I walk-ed yesterday" (with extra syllable). SAAVI: "It's 'walked' — sounds like 'walkt'. Not walk-ed.""

walked → /walkt/ (वॉक्ट)

→ walk + /t/ sound

played → /playd/ (प्लेड)

→ play + /d/ sound

waited → /wait-id/ (वेटिड)

→ wait + /ɪd/ extra syllable

stopped → /stopt/ (स्टॉप्ट)

→ stop + /t/ sound

needed → /need-id/ (नीडिड)

→ need + /ɪd/ extra syllable

walk-ed (pronouncing -ed as separate syllable for every verb) walked /walkt/, played /playd/, waited /wait-id/

SAAVI: -ed వేరే syllable అయ్యేది verb "t" లేదా "d" తో ముగిసినప్పుడే (waited, needed). మిగిలిన చోట్ల -ed silent లేదా /t/, /d/.

Three sound boxes: /t/, /d/, /ɪd/. Verbs fall into the correct box, sound plays.
