Prononciation du -ED final au prétérit - cours
Comment prononcer la marque -ED finale du prétérit?
C'est assez facile.
La prononciation change en fonction du son final du radical du verbe:
Par exemple,
'play' se termine par le son |ei|
'start' se termine par le son |t|
etc.
Attention, on parle bien du son final et non de la dernière lettre finale. On doit s'intéresser AU SON et non A LA LETTRE.
Exemple:
le verbe 'fix' se termine par le son |s|, car, phonétiquement, il s'écrit et se prononce |fiks|
Une fois qu'on a identifié ce son final, il est très facile de savoir comment le prononcer:
-> |d| en règle générale, c'est-à-dire qu'on le prononce comme s'il y avait un 'd' à la fin. C'est le cas pour: lived, arrived, enjoyed, played...
-> |t| après certains sons: si le verbe se termine par le son |p|, |k|, |f|, |s|, , . Exemples:
worked (son |k|), watched (), stopped (|p|), washed ()
