PhonologyIl y a en effet des différences entre les sons [d] et [t] qui sont pour l'un voisé et pour l'autre non. C'est ainsi que vous pourrez déterminer quelle sera la terminaison phonique d'un verbe au prétérit.

Si le dernier son du mot est voisé / vibrant, alors je dois le faire vibrer jusqu'au bout. Ainsi pour le verbe "(to) explain", la prononciation du /ed/ "explained" sera-t-elle voisée [iks'pleind] car le /n/ est bien une consonne vibrante.

Si le dernier son du mot N'est PAS voisé / vibrant, alors je NE dois PAS le faire vibrer. Ainsi pour le verbe "(to) wish", la prononciation du /ed/ Wished ne sera-t-elle pas voisée [t].

Et alors pourquoi y a-t-il parfois une terminaison [id]... ? Et bien tout simplement parce que certains mots se terminant déjà par [t] ou [d]... on aurait l'air ridicule de dire [t t] ou [d d] à la fin d'un mot. Qui plus est, ce ne serait pas du tout clair pour notre interlocuteur.

Moralité, quand un verbe se termine par un son [t] ou [d], le [ed] se prononcera [id] comme dans "suspend-ed" ou "retort-ed".

Il peut y avoir des exceptions bien sûr mais qui n'en sont pas vraiment : par exemple, avec le verbe "(to) learn" dont la terminaison régulière /ed/ donne... [d] puisque le /n/ est une consonne vibrante. Mais il a également une terminaison irrégulière qui fait "learnt"... de quoi en perdre son latin... et encore plus si je vous dis que "learned" peut parfois se prononcer [id] dans certains contextes. Ce n'est plus alors un verbe mais un adjectif signifiant "érudit", "cultivé".

Tout cela n'est que théorie et au bout d'un moment de pratique, vous n'aurez plus besoin de penser à la règle, mais elle pourra être utile pour bien comprendre les mécanismes de la langue.

Hey,

TUESDAY February 2nd group 2

Today Someone presented the document you had to prepare home about plastic bags.

Then we worked on a next theme: THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES

and on a text page 98 of your text book: Stressed by emails.

RESUME DE COURS : ANGLAIS

By Guylène.

Type de questions qu’on pourrait nous poser à « l’oral d’anglais » :

WHAT DO YOU DO TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONNEMENT?

I take showers instead of baths

I don’t use my car, I prefer to take public transportation whenever possible

I don’t let the water run when I brush my teeth

I turn off the light when I leave a room

I separate the trash

I ride to school

I bring back used batteries to the supermarket

In the morning, before I leave to school I turn off my electric heating.

Thanks Guylène
