Carlos: After that, I cleaned (/d/) the kitchen, washed (/t/) the dishes, and cooked (/t/) dinner for everyone.
Emma: Wow, you worked (/t/) all day!
Carlos: Yeah, but I enjoyed (/d/) it. My family loved (/d/) the food I made. We even watched (/t/) a movie after dinner.
Emma: What movie did you watch?
Carlos: We watched (/t/) Encanto. My little cousins danced (/t/) and sang (/d/) along to every song.
Emma: That sounds fun! What about Sunday? Did you rest?
Carlos: Kind of. I started (/ɪd/) the day early and jogged (/d/) in the park. Then I visited (/ɪd/) a friend and we played (/d/) some video games.
Emma: Sounds like a productive weekend! I just relaxed (/t/) and listened (/d/) to music.
Carlos: You probably needed (/ɪd/) that! Everyone deserves a lazy day once in a while.

🎬 Conversation 2: The English Project

Teacher: Good morning, everyone! How did your English projects go?

Sofia: I finished (/t/) mine last night, but I almost forgot to print it!

Teacher: (laughs) I’m glad you managed (/d/) to get it done. How about you, Leo?

Leo: I started (/ɪd/) my project on Friday, but I only completed (/ɪd/) it yesterday. I used (/d/) lots of pictures and added (/ɪd/) some examples.

Teacher: Nice! Did you included—oh, I mean—did you include your sources?

Leo: Yes, I included (/ɪd/) them at the end. I also checked (/t/) the grammar twice.

Sofia: I wanted (/ɪd/) to do that too, but I rushed (/t/) because my internet disconnected (/ɪd/) for a while.

Teacher: That happens! I’m glad you still submitted (/ɪd/) it on time.

Leo: Yeah, I noticed (/t/) the deadline was earlier than I expected (/ɪd/).

Teacher: You both worked (/t/) hard, and it really showed (/d/). I appreciated (/ɪd/) your effort.

Sofia: Thanks! I actually enjoyed (/d/) the project. It helped (/t/) me review the past tense verbs we studied (/d/).

Leo: Me too! I learned (/d/) that pronunciation is harder than spelling!
