This video tutorial explains the rules for pronouncing the -ed ending in regular past tense verbs. It covers the three possible sounds: 'd', 't', and 'id', and provides examples for each. The pronunciation depends on the ending sound of the root word. The 'd' sound is used if the root word ends in a vowel or voiced consonant, the 't' sound is used if it ends in an unvoiced consonant, and the 'id' sound is used if it ends in 'd' or 't'. The tutorial includes practice exercises to reinforce learning.
