Pronounciation of past tense

How do you pronounce the past tense of irregular verbs?
Do you remember the rule?
worked /t/
loved /d/
decided /id/


Practice here or in this quiz!

  1. "photocopied"(in the quiz) in the past tense don't write the "y", lake "stadied".Why does it pronounce with D? Thanks

  2. You pronounce "study" with a vowel at the end /i/, so for the past tense "studied", you just add a /d/.
    Another example is "play" > "played".

    Is it clear now?
