In my subject I focus only on focusing on the general theoretical issues of pronounced "-S / ES and -ED" Such as: S / ES and -ED "appear where, rules, how to read them And finally, give the pronunciation tips, the corresponding multiple-choice exercises to reinforce the basic knowledge to help students understand the "ed" and "s" pronunciation rules in English - Students : 12a2, 12A4, 12A5 1.4 Method to research this topic First of all, I use the knowledge I have learnt at university Secondly, I learn many experiences form my colleagues Moreover, I read many books to get the knowledge of the methods to teach pronuncing With all the knowledge I have collected I use them in teaching my students pronuncing skills After that, I choose methods which are suitabe for my students I use these methods many times and then they become my own experiences Now I am writing my own experiences in teaching pronuncing skills in this material Experimental and statistical methods (through practical teaching combined with testing and evaluation) MAIN CONTENTS 2.1 Rationale In the high school English program, part of the pronunciation “ - ed” and “ –s / es” was taught a little in unit 10 (Unit 11, Unit 10), focusing mainly on Block 11 (Unit: 13,14,15,16) and review in block 12 (unit: 1,2) - General theory: Last sound reading "s / es” The final consonant "s" usually appears in Plural nouns and 3rd – singular verb - There are three ways to pronounce the final consonant “ s / as” as follows: If the noun or verb Noun or verb stem Noun ending is one of the added: s or es following sound /t/ /θ/ /k/ /p/ /f/ If the noun or verb -sit - month - book - stop - roof Noun or verb stem ending is one of the or sits -months - books - stops - roofs Noun or /s/ verb added: s or es following sound /z/ /dʒ/ /s/ verb pronounced pronounced - recognize - age - bus - recognizes - ages - busses /∫/ /t∫/ - dish - watch - dishes - watches When the noun or Noun or verb stem Noun or verb ending with is added: s or es /iz/ verb pronounced the vowel and the consonant remains /b/ -

pens /η/ - learn - ring - learns - rings /ou/ - bring - potato - brings - potatoes /lei/ - go - day - goes - days /e/ - play - hair - plays - hairs - wear - wears /z/ - General theory: Last sound reading “ed” The "ed" appears in the verb with a division rule in the past tense or past participle The pronunciation "ed" as follows: If the noun or verb Verb The ending verb is pronounced ending is one of the following sound /t/ /d/ the 'ed' - Start - tarted - wait - waited - Want - Wanted - paint - Painted - Expect - need - Expected - Needed - Attend - Attended - Add - Added - Land - Landed - Decide - Decided /id/ / Some exceptions: Some words ending in-are used as adjectives, the -ed suffix is pronounced / id /: -

markedly - Đáng ý - supposedly - Cho - allegedly - Cho If the noun or verb Verb The ending verb is pronounced ending is one of the following sound /p/ /f/ /s/ /∫/ /t∫/ /k/ the 'ed' - step - stepped -

Punish - Punished - wish - Catch - wished - Catched - Watch - Watched - March - Marched - Reach - Ask - Reached - Asked - Cook - Cooked - Talk - Talked /t/ /t/ When the verb is the Verb The ending verb is pronounced end and the remaining the 'ed' consonants /b/ - play - played /g/ - open - opened - arrive - arrived - love - loved /v/… /d/ 2 The status of learning English in Trieu son high school No5 The students I choose are students 12A2, 12A4, 12A5 These are the three classes that I am teaching directly to study and demonstrate the topic of the past From the time I was assigned to teach these three classes I monitored their learning situation Recognizing that the majority of students are less interested in phonics because they are afraid to read because their pronunciation of the words is not standardized and it is difficult to memorize the phonemic symbols for them As for the "ed" part, they not remember when "ed" pronounced / t /; When to pronounce is / id /; When to pronounce is / d / In general, when they have the word "ed", they either ignore the unread or all the "ed" are pronounced / d / and the words "s / es" are almost pronounced Is / s / Because of not read, not be pronounced so when the test results are not as expected as follows: Lớp Sĩ số Giỏi Khá Trung bình Yếu Kém 12a2 38 10 22 12a4 44 30 12a5 48 13 40 Proplem solving -
