Questão

“Ready for the microphone?” asked the radio host. Julia nodded and looked at the short script she had written for a community concert. In the script, she tells what happened during the rehearsal: she worked with her cousin, laughed at a funny mistake, called the organizer to confirm the schedule, and cleaned the small stage after everyone left. At the end, she says she started the music exactly at 6:00 p.m. Julia wants her recording to sound clear, so she reads each sentence slowly and pays attention to how the final “-ed” sounds in regular past verbs. Based on the rule that “-ed” is pronounced /id/ after a /t/ or /d/ sound, identify the verb in the script whose “-ed” will sound /id/.

1. A) The verb laughed ends with -ed pronounced /id/.
2. B) The verb cleaned ends with -ed pronounced /id/.
3. C) The verb called ends with -ed pronounced /id/.
4. D) The verb worked ends with -ed pronounced /id/.
5. E) The verb started ends with -ed pronounced /id/.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o som que vem antes do -ed em cada verbo. A regra diz que -ed é pronunciado /id/ apenas quando o radical termina em som de /t/ ou /d/. Passo 2: Analise worked, cujo radical termina em k (som /k/, surdo), então o -ed soa /t/. Passo 3: Analise laughed, cujo radical termina em f (som /f/, surdo), então o -ed soa /t/. Passo 4: Analise called, cujo radical termina em l (som /l/, sonoro, que não é /t/ nem /d/), então o -ed soa /d/. Passo 5: Analise cleaned, cujo radical termina em n (som /n/), então o -ed soa /d/. Passo 6: Analise started, cujo radical termina em t (som /t/), então o -ed soa /id/, formando uma sílaba extra. Passo 7: Conclusão: a alternativa correta é E, que coincide com o gabarito oficial. As alternativas A, B, C e D estão erradas porque, em cada uma, o -ed não soa /id/: em A e D ele soa /t/, e em B e C ele soa /d/.

💡 Dica: Identifique o verbo regular no passado que termina com som /t/ ou /d/ para pronunciar '-ed' como /id/.
