1 Past tense endings: “ed”pronunciation exercises worksheet (with audio and answers)
Teaching and reminding students about past tense endings is a never ending battle for an English language teacher. If you teach in countries like Thailand, it is like a boomerang, a problem that always comes back with many students. So this is an exercise to help students understand, practice or review the past tense endings and the different kinds of pronunciation for the “ed” endings of verbs with different spellings. Students sort the verbs into the appropriate column. Students then write some sentences which they can be asked to say out loud. Listen to the audio to practice and check pronunciation.

HI
I’m running a Chines ESL group and they have asked about CH sound – I have got the worksheet which is awesome but am wondering if there is actually a “rule” for the different sounds – I’ve tried to google but get a little overwhelmed with where I should begin
Hi
When teaching pronunciation I find it’s advisable to stay clear of going into rules too deeply as it can become endless. Broad or general rules are ok. However, the different “ch” sounds generally originate from other languages including French and German. You might like to give some examples. Here’s a link to a fairly interesting explanation:

But again, sometimes you’ve just got to say, “This is the way it is”.
