The city woke up to muddy streets after a night of heavy rain. At the community center, volunteers wrote a short update on the notice board for local residents. “We packed water bottles, washed blankets, cleaned the floor, and fixed two broken lamps. We opened the back door for deliveries and called neighbors who live alone. Later, we shared soup with families and collected empty boxes for recycling. In the afternoon, we added more names to the help list, because new requests arrived.” Some students practiced reading the update aloud. The teacher asked them to pay attention to how the past tense ending sounds in different verbs. Analyze the verbs in the update and identify the pair whose -ed ending is pronounced /id/ (as an extra syllable).

1. A) fixed and helped
2. B) opened and called
3. C) packed and washed
4. D) collected and added
5. E) cleaned and shared

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Lembre a regra de pronuncia do -ed no passado simples. Ele tem tres sons: /t/ depois de sons surdos (como k, p, s, sh, x, ch), /d/ depois de sons sonoros ou vogais, e /id/ (uma silaba extra) depois dos sons /t/ ou /d/. Ou seja, o -ed so ganha silaba extra quando o verbo termina em t ou d.
2. Analise cada verbo do texto. Fixed termina em x, que se pronuncia /kst/, entao o final e /t/. Helped termina em p, som surdo, entao /t/. Opened termina em n, som sonoro, entao /d/. Called termina em l, entao /d/. Packed termina em k, entao /t/. Washed termina em sh, entao /t/. Cleaned termina em n, entao /d/. Shared termina em r, entao /d/. Collected termina em t, entao /id/. Added termina em d, entao /id/.
3. O unico par em que os dois verbos recebem a silaba extra /id/ e collected and added, alternativa D. Por isso ela esta correta, e coincide com o gabarito oficial.
4. Por que as outras estao erradas: na A, fixed e helped terminam em /t/; na B, opened e called terminam em /d/; na C, packed e washed terminam em /t/; na E, cleaned e shared terminam em /d/.

💡 Dica: Observe a pronúncia do sufixo -ed nos verbos no passado.
