And now try a few additional words in this category.

caped, seeped, chipped, ripped, hoped, hopped, backed, baked, poked, soaked, missed, harassed, wished, cashed

But if any of these words (which now end in a "T" sound) come right before words beginning with vowel sound, that "imaginary T" is now medial. Now that it's between vowels again, it will Americanize to a soft "D."

And a few extras:

chipped open, ripped off, hoped a lot, backed away, apple, missed everybody, packed, hopped along, poked in the ribs

L2/S1-C

If a regular verb ends in any sounds other "T" "D" "P" "K," "S" or "SH," the past tense will add a "D" and no extra syllable in the word. SOLOED, PLAYED, SKIED, SEEMED, CANNED, STIRRED, RESOLVED

And now try some extras which aren't recorded on the tape.
