规则动词的过去式词尾变化有几种:
1.一般情况下加ed,如watched, planted, watered, pulled, climbed, picked。
2.以不发音字母e结尾的加d,如liked, moved, tasted。
3.以辅音字母加y结尾的变y为i再加ed,如study——studied。
4.以1个元音字母加1个辅音字母结尾的重读闭音节,双写最后一个辅音字母再加ed,如stop——stopped。
词尾读音有3种:
a.在浊辅音和元音后读[d],如lived, watered, listened, played。
b.在清辅音后读[t],如liked, helped, watched。
c.在[t],[d]音后读[Id],如planted, wanted, handed(上交)。
