Let's have a look at the pronunciation of the ending of regular verbs

1) [t] final sound
Verbs ending in voiceless sounds [p, k, θ, f, s, ʃ, tʃ] cause the “-ed” ending to be pronounced as the voiceless [t] (with no vocal chord vibration).
      •  [p] “He popped a balloon.” [papt]
      • [k] “They talked a lot” [takt]
      • [θ] “th”: “She frothed a cup of milk” [frawθt]
      • [f] “I laughed at the movie.” [læft]
      • [s] “She kissed a frog.” [kIst]
      • [ʃ] “sh”: “We brushed it off.” [bruʃt]
      • [tʃ] “ch”: “I reached around for it.” [riytʃt]


2) [d] final sound
Verbs ending in the voiced sounds [b, g, ð, v, z, ʒ, dʒ, m, n, ŋ, r, l] cause the “-ed” ending to be pronounced as a voiced [d].
      •  [b] “It bobbed up and down.” [babd]
      • [g] “He begged her to stay.” [bɛgd]
      • [ð] “She breathed loudly.” [briyðd]
      • [v] “They loved it.” [luvd]
      • [z] “We raised her expectations.” [reyzd]
      • [dʒ] “They bridged the gap.” [brIdʒd]
      • [m] “I claimed it was mine.” [kleymd]
      • [n] “They banned new members.” [bænd]
      • [ŋ] “She banged into the chair.” [bæŋd]
      • [r] “He cleared it up.” [kliyrd]
      • [l] “I rolled up the paper.” [rowld]

3)  [ɪd] final sound
Verbs ending in the sounds [t] or [d] will cause the “-ed” ending of a verb to be pronounced as the syllable  [ɪd].
      • [t] “She edited the research paper.” [ɛdɪtɪd]
      • [d] “We ended the game early.” [ɛndɪd]
      • [d] “He breaded the chicken.” [brɛdɪd]
