yeah you just simply add the letter d

27:14

again the pronunciation here is baked

27:17

i baked a cake yeah

27:21

i know german speakers tend to have a

27:23

bit of a problem they want to say baked

27:27

oftentimes um

27:29

but in english we don't pronounce every

27:31

letter that's right there are some words

27:34

in the past tense where you would add an

27:37

extra consonant for the ed um there

27:39

aren't many words i can't think of one

27:41

right now i'd have to look one up um

27:44

29:05

like a learner it is a bit

29:08

daunting

29:09

um

29:10

challenging

29:13

to think you're going to have to just

29:14

memorize these but every language has i

29:18

think

29:19

irregular verbs and

29:23

every language that conjugates verbs

29:26

there are irregular verbs

29:28

and you just learn them and you get used

29:30

to them so don't stress

29:32
