This is Elliot from E T.

J.

English.

How are you doing today?

We're going to be focusing on words which end with E D.

How do we pronounce them?

Well, there's three different ways, and I'm gonna show you today way before we start this video, I must mention that I did get this idea for my friend Eagle, who works at I L M T, which is a language school in Brazil.

Just Siara in Brazil.

I hope I pronounced that correctly.

I'm sorry if I pronounced it wrong.

Basically, he told me that his students maybe have a little bit off difficulty with pronouncing words which end with E.

D.

Now I'm here to help you students.

I'm here to help you subscribers.

I'm here to help everyone with this problem.

Now, hopefully I can fix it for you today.

So words which end with e.

D.

There's three different ways of pronouncing them.

We can either pronounce them with a sound.

We can pronounce them with a sound, or we can pronounce them with an ID sound.

For some of you, this might be quite easy.

However, for some countries, something which happens quite a lot is they will just pronounce it how it's spelt.

So, for example, ah, word like educated, which we pronounce with the it sound at the end, I find that lots of my students taking my pronunciation course will often pronounce it as educated.

Now we have to learn with English that most things aren't really pronounced how they are spelled, so it kind of makes it a little bit more confusing.

So I'm going to try and teach you the rules, teach you the basics, will practice a few words on a few sentences on Hopefully it should kind of clear things up.

So firstly, let's go back to when we said about educated.

Now that finishes with it, why does it finish with it?

Well, let me tell you so with the verb ends with a T or a d So it or a sound, we will follow it with an ID to pronounce that e d if you know what I mean.

So, for example, we could go with a word like Want want Now let's put an e.

D.

On the end of that word, we wouldn't say wanted, we say wanted it.

So just practice that sound First it so to firstly, to pronounce the vowel it it it now in the same breath.

I want you to finish with a where we push the tongue to the top of the mouth on We voice the sound.

It's not on voiced, wanted wanted.

So all in the same sound wanted.

I wanted a new car for Christmas.

I wanted a new car for Christmas.

How about a word which I'm enjoying quite a lot at the moment, which relates to the World Cup?

Eliminate now, Firstly, let's take a look at the pronunciation off it on its own.

Without e d, we would say eliminate, eliminate.

Let's put a e d On the end, we know that it finishes with a sound.

So when there's an e.

D followed by that, that means we will do and it eliminated, eliminated nated eliminated.

Let's try a sentence, which will make me very happy.

Germany were eliminated from the World Cup.

Germany were eliminated from the World Cup.

Sorry, Germans.

I just had to do it.

And now let's get to when we pronounce it with a T sound.

So, for example, the word laugh right laugh.

If we want to make that past tense, we would say laughed.

Laugh now This one's quite a nice continent cluster to pronounce it the end.

Firstly, I have to tell you the sound at the end of laugh is of course, unveil voiced.

We're not making a sound from our throat.

We're not going love.

We're going laugh.

So because that's on voiced, the easiest situation on the correct pronunciation situation would be to pronounce that invoiced at the end laughed.

So what we need to do, of course, to create that sound, the top teeth go onto the bottom lip and we breathe some air out.

Now all we need to do is in the same breath release a sound once again, tongue to the top off the mouth.

How about the word?

Hope finishes with a API which is on voiced.

We're not making a sound so hoped another continent cluster here.

But now what I want you to do This is a little practice technique.

Take a deep breath in when you release that Go.

That's for any of you who have maybe just skipped half the video and got to this point.

This is not a meditation video we're practicing pronunciation hoped hoped once again.

P on voiced.

So that means we have to create that t when it's an e d ending.

Now, finally, we've done when a word ends with A T and a d, we know that we will pronounce it within it.

We know that when we have an invoiced sound at the end of a word, we add e.

D.

We pronounce it with a T.

What if the sound is voiced at the end of a word?

What we pronounce it with?

A.

Now this one's quite difficult to understand because the sound is actually when it's at the end of a word, it almost sounds very similar to a sound.

T is on voiced right on the D is voiced, but when it's at the end of a word, I find that the sound becomes a kind of mixture off it on a So we're still making a voice in our throat.

We're still pushing sound out, but it's much more relaxed and you'll see what I mean in a second.

So, for example, the word clean it finishes with a sound clean.

So if we want to add e.

D.

On the end cleaned.

So it's a very relaxed like, for example, if we're talking about a country, let's say Denmark were really pronouncing that sound.

Denmark, However, if we're pronouncing it at the end of a word cleaned, cleaned.

So we're very softly pronouncing that we still need some voice so it doesn't sound like a cleaned.

Let's try another word plan planned.

Planned.

I planned to plant some flowers in my garden.

Quite difficult.

One planned to plant some flowers in my garden.

Let's just try one more practice sentence just to practice a few different sounds together.

I cleaned my room before I watched the movie, so we've got cleaned, cleaned?

Andi watched shift.

I cleaned my room before I watched the movie.

The most important thing is not to create any sounds.

Sometimes people like to create a Schwab sound.

I've heard all kinds of different sounds.

When people get this wrong, the most important thing is to know exactly.

You need to either do an ID, a T or D, and it needs to come straight after that sound at the end of the word.

Okay, so that that's it.

That's how you do it.

It seems quite basic, but you'll be surprised how many people actually get this wrong.

So I hope you found this useful.

I hope this did help you in some way with making your pronunciation clearer.

Now this is just the basics if you want them or advanced stuff.

How to really connect your speech with these kind of words?

How to sound fluent and natural and confident.
