Pronunciation of “-ed” at the end of verbs in the past.
The “-ed” part is always pronounced but there are 3 different ways to pronounce it.
1) pronounced “id”. We need a “t” or a “d” before “ed” to pronounce it “id”. Example: wanted, started, visited, communicated, needed, decided, etc.
2) pronounced “d” when we have a “voiced” sound before, which means our vocal cords are vibrating when we pronounce then. Examples: played, stayed, died, called, named, loved, etc. Remember that the pronounciation of the “d” is often very subtle, especially when the word after starts with a consonant.
3) pronounced “t” when we have an “unvoiced sound” before, which means our vocal cords are NOT vibrating when pronouncing them. Examples: worked, parked, walked, talked, passed, stopped, washed, watched, etd. Remember that the pronounciation of the “t” is often very subtle, especially when the word after starts with a consonant.

Note: C’est correct d’utiliser deux fois de suite le verbe “have” .
Dans “I have to have”, le premier “have to” signifie “devoir” et le deuxième “have” signifie “avoir. Donc “I have to have” = Je dois avoir.
