-ed Endings · B1+ · Landed, Walked, Explored: The First Moon Landing | No-Prep ESL Pronunciation Lesson

A ready-to-teach B1+ pronunciation lesson on the three -ed endings, /t/, /d/ and /ɪd/, built around the story of Apollo 11 and the first Moon landing.

Students guess true or false in a Moon quiz, then follow a short, fully referenced article and sort 16 past-tense verbs by sound. They work out the rule from the verb's final sound (with the throat test), practise linking to a vowel, race in teams, retell the Apollo 11 story in a role-play and talk about their own past experiences in a mingle.
