About your holiday

Todays' Plan:

The goals for today

The Goals for today:

• I can talk about my holiday experiences using the vocabulary and stones in the book.
• I can pronounce 'ed' endings correctly 
• I can pronounce dates correctly, including the days, months and years.

Listen to these sentences.

• I left for a beach town with my best friend on 21 August 2019.
  
• I travelled to the countryside with my parents on 13 July 2020.
  
• I booked a room in a youth hostel on 3 June.

What do you notice?

Dates in English are pronounced differently from how they're spelled.             

21 Agust 2019 is pronounced: 

the twentyfirst of August twenty-nineteen.

13 July 2020: 

the thirteenth of July twenty-twenty

3 June:

the third of June

Pronunciation

• Past tense =  `-ed'.
  
• This `-ed' ending can be pronounced in different ways. 
• If the verb ends with a voiceless consonant (p, k, f, ss, th, sh), the ending sounds as a /t/.
  
• When you pronounce a voiceless consonant, you do not use your vocal cords.

Practise

I jumped

They picked

It hissed                        

Sounds like:

ed, ed or ed? (1/3)

• If the verb ends with a voiced consonant (l, n, r, g)
• the ending sounds as a /d/. 
• When you pronounce a voiced consonant, you do use your vocal cords. 
• The `e' is silent!
