Question

do the \-ed suffix\ activity
underline the baseword and circle the suffix in each word below. read the word. write /t/, /d/, or /ed/ above the suffix to indicate the sound.
hosted stamped spelled
s scolded bumped thrilled
called honked mended
punted dented trashed
pressed crunched twisted
landed winked banged
write the ed words in the correct column below.
ed = /ed/ ed = /d/ ed = /t/
hosted spelled pressed

Explanation:

• For the sound /ed/: Words where the baseword ends with a /t/ or /d/ sound will have the /ed/ pronounced as /ed/. So, "dented" (baseword "dent" ends with /t/) and "punted" (baseword "punt" ends with /t/) belong here.
• For the sound /d/: When the baseword ends with a vowel or a voiced consonant (except /t/ and /d/), the /ed/ is pronounced as /d/. "scolded" (baseword "scold" ends with a voiced consonant /d/ sound), "called" (baseword "call" ends with a vowel - like sound in terms of pronunciation rules for this), "mended" (baseword "mend" ends with a voiced consonant /d/ sound), "landed" (baseword "land" ends with a /d/ sound), "spelled" (baseword "spell" ends with a voiced consonant sound), "thrilled" (baseword "thrill" ends with a voiced consonant sound), "banged" (baseword "bang" ends with a voiced consonant sound).
• For the sound /t/: When the baseword ends with an unvoiced consonant (except /t/ and /d/), the /ed/ is pronounced as /t/. "stamped" (baseword "stamp" ends with an unvoiced consonant /p/ sound), "bumped" (baseword "bump" ends with an unvoiced consonant /p/ sound), "honked" (baseword "honk" ends with an unvoiced consonant /k/ sound), "trashed" (baseword "trash" ends with an unvoiced consonant /sh/ sound - approximated as per rules), "crunched" (baseword "crunch" ends with an unvoiced consonant /ch/ sound - approximated as per rules), "winked" (baseword "wink" ends with an unvoiced consonant /k/ sound), "pressed" (baseword "press" ends with an unvoiced consonant /s/ sound), "twisted" (baseword "twist" ends with an unvoiced consonant /st/ sound - approximated as per rules).
