INTRO: Here's this lesson's big point: add "-ed" to a verb to say what already happened. The ending has three sounds — you'll meet each one, then drill it.

**Simple Present vs. Simple Past**

| | |
|---|---|
| SIMPLE PRESENT: | We {walk} to class every day. |
| **SIMPLE PAST:** | **We {walked} to class yesterday.** |
| SIMPLE PRESENT: | He {walks} to class every day. |
| **SIMPLE PAST:** | **He {walked} to class yesterday.** |

**1. Spelling: verb + -ed = simple past**

* {play} + ed = {played}
* {walk} + ed = {walked}
* {close} + d = {closed}
* {study} + ed = {studied}

**2. Pronunciation of -ed:**

* **GROUP I (/d/):** {answered}, {circled}, {cleaned}, {closed}, {learned}, {listened}, {lived}, {memorized}, {opened}, {played}, {reviewed}, {shaved}, {spelled}, {studied}
* **GROUP II (/t/):** {asked}, {checked}, {cooked}, {liked}, {looked}, {looked up}, {marked}, {talked}, {walked}, {watched}, {worked}
