Learners often pronounce every -ed ending as a full extra syllable: “work-ed”, “play-ed”, “jump-ed”. Native speakers almost never do. In fact, most -ed endings add no syllable at all.

There are three ways to say -ed, and the rule depends only on the last sound of the verb.

Rule 1 — /ɪd/: /t/ හෝ /d/ පසු

When the verb already ends in a /t/ or /d/ sound, you need an extra syllable, otherwise you could not hear the ending:

  • want → wanted /ɪd/
  • need → needed /ɪd/
  • decide → decided /ɪd/

This is the only case where -ed is a separate syllable.

Rule 2 — /t/: නිශ්ශබ්ද ශබ්ද පසු

After a voiceless sound (/p/, /k/, /s/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /f/, /θ/) the ending is a short, quiet /t/:

  • work → worked /wɜːkt/
  • stop → stopped /stɒpt/
  • watch → watched /wɒtʃt/
  • laugh → laughed /lɑːft/

Rule 3 — /d/: අනෙකුත් සියල්ල පසු

After vowels and voiced sounds the ending is a soft /d/:

  • play → played /pleɪd/
  • live → lived /lɪvd/
  • call → called /kɔːld/

ඉක්මන් පරීක්ෂාව: ඔබේ ගලේ අත තබා ක්‍රියාපදයේ අවසාන ශබ්දය කියන්න. Buzz → /d/. Buzz නැතිව → /t/. /t/ හෝ /d/ දැනටමත් තියෙනවා නම් → /ɪd/.

කෙටි කතාවක් සමඟ පුහුණුවන්න

මම walked home, opened the door, සහ wanted to sleep. පසුව මට remembered I needed to cook. මම washed some rice and called my friend.

ඔබ කියවන විට අක්ෂර ගණන ගණන්න. Walked සහ washed එක් එක් අක්ෂරයක් පමණයි; wanted සහ needed පමණක් වැඩේ.
