1. Word Endings

Hi, welcome back. Again my name is Paul Gruber and this is the Pronunciation Workshops---Sixth Training Session. In this session, we will cover Word Endings. Often people who speak English as a second language drop the endings or final sounds off their words, well, they do not pronunce the final sounds correctly. If this is done consistantly in conversation, chances are you’ ll not be understood. I’ve noticed that the majority of my clients clip off the endings of words without even realizing that they’ re doing this. What I mean by clip off is when saying words a common mistake that foreign speakers make is that they drop off the last sound in a word, especially those words that end in B, P, D or a T. For example, in the word Job, you may be saying Jo_ without a B sound or the B is so weak you don’ t even hear it. I have a good Job. You see that. You did not hear the B sound. For Cap, you may be saying Ca_. I am wearing a Ca_ and you don’ t hear the P sound. For bed, you may be saying Be_. I sleep in a Be_ and there is no D. For the word Plate, you may be saying Pla__. I eat on a Pla__ and you don’ t hear the T sound. The problem with your listeners is not hearing that last consonant sound and the person you’ re speaking with does not hear with the last sound is in your words. They’ ll consistently be guessing at what you’ ve trying to say. Therefore don’ t drop off the endings. Make sure that the final sounds come through clearly and fully. Don’ t shorten them. Let’s practise these following sentences. Be aware not to drop the endings off. We’ re going on starting with words ending with P.

I hope the group will sleep on the ship.

The soda pop spilled out of the cup, over the map and onto her lap.

Was the Egg Drop Soup cheap?

Very good. Now another mistake that foreign speakers make is unvoicing a sound when it should be voiced. For example, Job ends in a B, which is a voiced sound. Job. It’s not Jop with an unvoiced P. Keep the voicing going throughout the whole word. Job, with a voiced B ending. Same thing with Robe, also has a voiced B ending. It’s not Rope with an unvoiced P. It’s Robe. OK? Let’s go over these sentences ending with Bs.

We cleaned the cobweb from the doorknob near the bathtub.

Rob broke his golf club when he slipped on the ice cube.

The crab was under the cement slab at the yacht club.

The ticket stub was found in the taxi cab.

Now T endings. Make sure the Ts come through clearly.

Kate left her cat on the mat as she flew a kite.

The sailboat came into the port to join the fleet.

What bait will make the fish bite? A cricket or a piece of meat?

Very good. Now also remember to add a voicing towards with D endings. Bed has a voiced D ending. It’s not Bet with an unvoiced T. It’s Bed with a voiced D. Road also has a voiced D ending. Road. It’s not Roat,unvoiced. It’s Road. The whole word is voiced. Let’s go over these sentences ending with voiced Ds.

Fred will decide which sled should be painted red.

David tried to send a refund back to England.

He could not hide his report card behind the chalk board.

Very good. Ok now let’s talk about ED Endings. Many verbs that are in the past tense end with ED. For example. Clean. Today I clean. Yesterday I cleaned. Now ED Endings have similar rules as the S and Z endings that we discussed in the second session.

Here’s the first rule and probably you already do this correctly. If a word ends in an unvoiced consonant, all we do is add an unvoiced T. So let’s look at the word Jump, for example, the final sound in Jump is P, which is unvoiced. So when you put it in the past tense, all you do is add a T, so Jump becomes JumpT with the T sound at the end. Jumped. Of course the word is spelled with ED Ending. It’s just pronunced as a T. Jumped, like that. The word Walk, which has an unvoiced K sound at the end. Walk becomes walkT. Yesterday I walked.

Here’s the second rule. If a word ends in a voiced consonant, you add a voiced D. In other words, to keep the whole word voiced. So for example, the word Rub ends with the voiced B. Rub. Today I rub. Yesterday I rubD. All I did was add a voiced D sound at the end. Rubbed. It’s not Rubbet with the unvoiced T. It’ s Rubbed, like that. Here’s another example. Clean ends with a voiced N. So today I clean. Yesterday I cleaned. I cleaned the kitchen. Pour becomes PourD. I poured the milk. Scrub becomes scrubD. I scrubbed the floor. Tag becomes TaggD. I tagged the clothing. Spill ends with the voiced L sound, spill, so becomes SpillD. I spilled the juice. Trim becomes TrimmD. I trimmed the tree. Move has that voiced V sound. Move. So it becomes moved. I moved to California. Buzz becomes BuzzD. The clock buzzed all night. Ok. So that’s the second rule.

Here is the third rule. If a word ends in a T or a D sound. We add the ending ID which is a vowel I followed by a D, which is voiced. ID. So, for example, the word Lift. Lift ends with an unvoiced T. Lift. So today I lift the ball. Yesterday I liftID(lifted) the ball. Lift becomes Lifted. And remember in the third session we talked about when a T falls between two vowels turns into a D, like in the word Water. Water becomes Wader. Remember that? Well, the same thing happens here when a T comes between two vowels. So look at this next word Heat. The verb to heat becomes Heated. I heated up my dinner. Vote becomes VotID. He voted this morning. Hand becomes HandID. He handed me his report. Trade becomes TradID. I traded in my old car. Add becomes AddID. She added some information. Ok, now let’s go over these exercises with ED Endings. You’ ll notice that I put a line under all the endings that are voiced to help you remember to add voicing. Here we go.

Bob raked the leaves and then started to wash his car. He then loaded up the dishwasher and finished washing his dishes.

Susan spilled her drink on the spotted rug.

She cleaned it up with a napkin, which wasted a lot of time.

He thanked me and offered me money, if I picked up the used equipment.

Very good. Ok now let’ s talk about words that end in NG. Some people who speak English as a second language have gone into the bad habbit of adding a K release sound /k/, like that, after NG Ending. For example, in the word Ring, it becomes RingK(×). The word Walking becomes WorkingK(×). The word Talking becomes TalkingK, /k/ like that. That is not right. The problem is there’ s just this little/k/ K sound at the end of the ING sound. Don’ t do this. It is not right and it does not sound good. Let’s talk about the NG sound. There are three nasal sounds in English. Nasal sounds are sounds which come out of your nose. Those three nasal sounds are M/m/,N/n/,NG [ŋ],like that. Let me show you something. Try to say the M sound /m/ while closing off your nose. You see you can not do it. Because the M sound comes out of your nose. It’s the nasal sound. Same thing with the NG sound-- [ŋ]-- comes out of your nose. It’s a combination of a N and a G and it’s found at the ends of words, like Ring and Sing. And I want you to realize that there’s not a /k/ K sound. There’s not a K sound. The word is not Walking/k/. It’s Walking [ŋ] with that NG Ending, Ok? Walking. Let’s practise these sentences with NG Endings. Here we go.

I have a feeling that she is working too much.

She has been wearing a hearing aid so that she could sing.

He is looking forward to speaking at the Thanksgiving celebration.

Very good. Well, that is for today’s session. I hope that you’ ve been enjoying this program so far and I’ ll be getting to know some improvements in the way you’ re speaking English. I’ ll bet you’ re sounding much better already. Have fun practising those ending sounds and I’ ll see you at the next session. I’ m Paul Gruber with Pronunciation Workshop. Good bye!
