A two-page IPA guide to vowels and consonants with example words, using a traditional British English teaching model.
See why worked, played and wanted end differently despite sharing the spelling -ed. This A2-B1 reference groups regular verbs by /t/, /d/ and /ɪd/ and shows which endings add a syllable.
Sort 24 regular past verbs into the three -ed pronunciation groups. Each column takes eight words, and a separate answer page supports checking after learners have said the verbs aloud.
Compare familiar British and American pronunciation models through words such as tomato, schedule and privacy, alongside zed/zee. The B1-B2 reference includes IPA and notes on accepted alternatives rather than prescribing one accent.
