Hello everyone,

I've learned the 3 ways to pronounce "ed" at the end of a word, especially when a verb is in the past tense or past participle. But, I noticed that the pronunciation can be different even with the same final spelling.
For instance, the "ed" ending "walked" is pronounced /t/ because of the k. But in the word "wicked" the "ed" is pronounced /id/ despite the k.
Is it just an exception? Are there others?
Thanks for your replies.
Mark

Hello,

The only difference I can think of is that wicked [id] is an adjective not a past participle.
See the form of the verb learned; it is pronounced |t] when a past participle but [id] when an adjective.
You have to learn all that I suppose. It has never been a problem for me. I wonder whether there is a rule for that.
