 Exercise explanation
- Teacher use only –

In Spanish the /ed/ syllable is pronounced the same in every single word without making any difference if the syllable is at the end, middle, and beginning of the word or of the letters surrounding it. That is why, when someone doesn’t master the English language, it’s a little bit difficult to pronounce it correctly when it’s at the end of a word.

Combined with role playing and with the practice of script sentences and real life situations, it’s easier for the agent to get used to the different sounds that this syllable can have.
