Correction du vocabulaire important et prononciation de /-ed/

08.10.2009

Today,

we first spoke about Stéphanie's Japanese concert and here is what we said:
"to be written by Camille Ridey..."

Then, we reviewed some important vocabulary for the lesson. Remember that you will have your test tomorrow and that I expect you to know these words and as many synonyms as possible.

Then, we worked on pronunciation. We saw how to pronounce the /-ed/ ending in preterit verbs. We said that you could know how to pronounce them thanks to your vocal cords and that everything was logical. Finally I asked some of you to read the text in order to make sure your accent was correct.

Here is a list which recaps what we said about /-ed/ :

[t]: looked, marked, ached, laughed.
[d]:moved, obeyed, realized, pulled, straightened, healed.
[id]: wounded, blurted, immigrated, wanted.

[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.
