La prononciation de /-ed/

Today,

we first spoke about the G-20 summit. Here is what we said:

"The strongest 20 countries in the world with a strong economy and army are gathering in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania today in order to solve economy and environmental problems."



Then we listened to the text recording and learnt how to pronounce the /-ed/ ending for sure without a possible mistake.

Here is the chart that we established with the verbs from the text:
[t]: looked, marked, ached, laughed.
[d]:moved, obeyed, realized, pulled, straightened, healed.
[id]: wounded, blurted.


And here is the rule in French:

[t]: on prononce [t] si le dernier son du verbe ne fait pas vibrer les cordes vocales.
[d]: on prononce [d] si le dernier son du verbe fait vibrer les cordes vocales.
[id]: on prononce [id] si le dernier son du verbe est déjà [t] ou [d].
Tout doit être logique et fluide au niveau de la prononciation.
