There are three different -ed sounds in English
For example, the -ed in "walked" sounds different than in "called".
-ed can sound like /t/ or /d/ or /ed/
/t/ has a puff of air and sounds like this.
/d/ has no puff of air and sounds like this.
/ed/ sounds like you are pronouncing "ed" separately.
Put your hand in front of your mouth and try to pronounce /t/ and /d/.
When you say /t/, you should feel air on your hand.
When you say /d/, there should be almost no air on your hand.
If the verb stem ends with a puff of air, you need the /t/ sound
Put your hand in front of your mouth and say “walk”.
Do you feel the puff of air? You should. "walked" has the /t/ sound.
If there is no puff of air, you need the /d/ sound
Put your hand in front of your mouth and say “call”.
You should not feel air on your hand. "called" has the /d/ sound.
If a word ends in "d" or "t", you need the /ed/ sound.
"needed" has the /ed/ sound. It sounds you are saying "need" and then "ed".
