Default Re: Are there rules for "ed" pronunciation?

Here's an example from above with the verb " to text"

Quote McLovin View Post
I claim it would be spelled "texted" and pronounced with "ed" as id.

Se says it would still be spelled "texted" but pronounced as if it was spelled "text"
both pronounciations would be right.

If you pronounce the "t" at the end, the "ed" would be pronounced /Id/

If you drop the final "t" which is often the case the "ed" matches voicing with the "s" (-voice) and is pronounced /t/
