Some language books teach the endings for different past tense verbs as:
tid -- as in wanted, started
d -- as in loved, called
t -- as stopped, looked
and they have exercises where students group words according to how the endings sound. I usually ignore these unless a student has an obvious problem with the ending of a verb. For example if a student says look -ed (where the -ed sounds like the name Ed). Then I would correct that pronunciation. Most students seem to get the endings reasonably right.

CoachWhen teaching pronunciation of "ed" past tense verbs, start by explaining the three different sounds it can make: /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/. Then, provide examples of verbs that correspond to each sound, such as "walked" for /t/, "played" for /d/, and "ended" for /ɪd/. Practice pronouncing these verbs, focusing on the correct sound for each. Finally, provide drills and activities to reinforce the correct pronunciation of past tense verbs.
