Past tense pronunciation

Hi friends, I am back,
I am studying the pronunciation of past tense, I found these rules:
1. If the final sound of the word is voiced, add /d/
2. If the final sound of the word is voiceless, add /t/
3. If the word ends (written) with 't' or 'd', add /Id/

Where does the word 'delete' fall?, I mean according to those rules,

Should 'delete' be pronounced as delete+/t/?
Thanks in advance.

It comes under 3. It's not whether the infinitive ends with the letters "t" of "d", but whether it ends with the sounds /t/ or /d/.

Rule 3 (but the rule concerns the final sound, not the spelling). Delete ends in /t/, so the past tense is /d@litId/.

Excuse me but I do not think so. The final sound of the word 'delete' is voiceless (/t/). For that reason I asked if I should add the sound /t/.

Approaching this chance,
Do you all know some sites where I can find information of pronunciation for the past tense, third person present tense, plural, etc.?
Thanks you all.

It is possible for me to be wrong about something but I can hold my hand next to my throat and feel the voicing or not.

And you should add the voiced sound, not /t/.

I said it because according to English phonetic the sound /t/ is voiceless.

By definition, /t/ is always voiceless, whatever the language; otherwise it would be /d/.
