[General] camouflaged

[Silverobama]

Hi,


How do you pronounced the bold word in this sentence?


They camouflaged in bushes.


Should it be “t” or “d”?

 

[SoothingDave]

You mean the ending sound? D

 

[Silverobama]

You mean the ending sound? D

Yes. And I am sorry for the incomplete question.

Learn English with Papa Teach Me said that "-ed" is pronounced /d/ when it is preceded by a voiced sound, and /t/ when by an unvoiced sound. He also said that it is pronounced /Id/ when it is preceded by the sounds /t/ and /d/. Could you confirm this?

 

[bubbha]

Generally, yes. After /t/ or /d/, it may be pronounced in the general area between /əd/ and /ɪd/.

A notable exception is "supposed," which has all three pronunciations, depending on context:

"I supposed you would say that." (-pozd)
"You are not supposed to go in there." (-post)
"His supposed 'girlfriend' is Canadian, he claims." (-pozId)
