1.
Select regular verbs with /Id/ sound. (More than one option)
Correct Answer(s)
B. Started
D. Needed
Explanation
The regular verbs "Started" and "Needed" have the /Id/ sound at the end. In English, regular verbs in the past tense often end with the sound /Id/, which is pronounced as "d" or "t" depending on the preceding sound. In the case of "Started," the /Id/ sound is pronounced as "t" because the preceding sound is unvoiced. Similarly, in "Needed," the /Id/ sound is pronounced as "d" because the preceding sound is voiced.
