-ed
Verb ending signal
The suffix -ed attaches to verbs to form the past tense and past participle: walked, jumped, created.
It also creates adjectives from nouns, indicating possession of a quality: bearded, talented, one-eyed.
Pronunciation varies—sometimes a full syllable (wanted), sometimes just /d/ (played) or /t/ (walked)—depending on the sounds that precede it.
