The –ed ending in English has:
Some regular verbs end with a
“t” sound:
walked
laughed
washed

Simple Form
Past Tense
There are rules that tell us how to
pronounce the -ed.
However,
It’s a good idea for students to make
a list of which –ed verbs have a “t”
sound, which have a “d” sound, and
which have an “id” sound.
And with practice, you can start to learn
and memorize correct pronunciation.
Transform the sentences into Past Simple Tense.

her friend last week.
(-) - She didn’t go to the hospital to
visit her friend last week.
