Here is the completed exercise based on the rules for forming and pronouncing the past tense of regular verbs (adding
-ed).
---
✔ Rules Recap (from your image):
#### 1.
Spelling Rules:
- General: verb +
ed → *look → looked*
- Verbs ending in
'e': just add
d → *live → lived*
- If verb ends in a
stressed syllable with
1 vowel + 1 consonant →
double the consonant + ed → *travel → travelled*, *stop → stopped*
- Verbs ending in
'y':
- If preceded by a
vowel → verb +
ed → *play → played*
- If preceded by a
consonant → change
y → i + ed → *study → studied*
#### 2.
Pronunciation Rules:
-
/t/ after voiceless consonants (PeTaKa, CHoZaS, FiSH) → *worked, talked*
-
/d/ after voiced consonants and vowels → *lived, listened*
-
/ɪd/ after verbs ending in
‘t’ or ‘d’ → *wanted, decided*
