"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."
Mathilde Blind, April Rain

Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."
Mathilde Blind, April Rain

Accentuation of the words / pronunciation of -ED

How to find the syllabe stressed in a word ? Here is a little help to master this notion for the words with the most common endings.
The emphasis is on the second to last syllabe for the words finishing in :
-ION (pollution)
-IC (ironic)
-ITY (quality)
-ETY (anxiety)
-IBLE (impossible)
-SIVE (expensive)
-ISH (abolish)
Now, the pronunciation of the verbs in -ED :
ED is pronunced /d/ after the majority of the sound consonants.
Examples : robbed, puzzled
ED is pronunced /t/ after /p/ - /f/ - /s/ - /k/.
Examples : asked, missed
ED is pronunced /id/ after /t/ and /d/.
Examples : dominated, arrested
So, I hope that this aid will you help to improve your pronunciation.
