The adjective has two: /'eıʤıd/ - She was startled by the aged man who is always hanging around the cemetery.

Hello everybody,
So the verb "aged" above should be pronounced /eidjd/, whether "rugged" and "ragged" should be pronounced /-gid/, right?
All the best,
Hela |

Hello Bob,
Does the word "cragged" exist?
Have a nice weekend. |

b | Right, I ask my pupils "Is there a verb 'to nake'?" (naked), to leg (legged), etc.
Although as is often the case it isn't a 100% proof rule... |

the past form "ed" is pronounced /t/ after voiceless consonant sounds such as :
/p, t, k/ = plosives or stops
/s, f/ and 'sh' (as in shake), 'th' (as in thing) = fricatives
'ch' (as in chalk) = affricate |
