Speech & Pronunciation
/t/ sound of Regular Verbs in Past Simple
As far as I'm concerned the verbs in the infinitive whose last sound is (I'm not writing the correct phonetics sounds, though)
/sh/ wash
/ch/ watch
/k/ bake
/s/ release; fix
/p/ stop
/f/ laugh
/th/ ?
when added "ed", the ED is pronounced /t/.
Three questions:
1) Are there any other verbs with the /f/ sound whose writing end with a final F or PH, apart from the GH one as in LAUGH?
2) What examples can you give me of a verb in the infitinite ending with a /th/ sound? Clearly "sunbathe" or "smooth" are not, as they take the /th/ sound of the article THE, not of the verb THINK; hence pronounced with a /d/ sound when added the ED.
3) Are there any other sounds that I'm missing, apart from the 7 I've listed, that fit into this rule of the /t/ sound?
Thanks.

EyeSeeYou(There is a tendency, however, to change the quality of the "th" and add "d" for the past. "berthed = bertht" is probably the best example.)Verbs that end in /?/ ("th" in thin) can add /t/, or they can change /?/ to /ð/ ("th" in "them") and add /d/.
I'm not sure I follow.
The past of "sheath" /?i?/ can be /?i?t/ or /?iðd/. The latter, i
