Erasmus experience. Secondly, she explains some vocabulary and expressions she
has used. Finally, she explains how to pronounce the –ed ending of the past
participle and past tense of regular verbs, and asks students to do some
practise by asking them to guess the pronunciation of the past tense of some
regular verbs.
