Learning past tense
Last Wednesday we was learning about past tense, particulary regular verbs and their rules. The grammar was easy but I was complicated with pronunciation. Im Argentina, and here, the official language is Spanish. The Spanish phonetic is very different than English phonetic. I pronunce all letters and each letter, vocals and consonants, have their own sound, noticiable. So, it is interesting and funny too. When we try to speak, we sound weird, for example: the word "worked" , the native speaker (English) pronounce it /wɜːkt/ , they don't pronunce the consonant "R" and the termination "ED" (that indicate past tense) sound /t/, in this case. But it depend of the root of a verb, if they finish with voice or unvoice sound...
