-/t/ ; -/d/ ; -/?d/
As you can see, these one syllable words turn disyllabic.
-permit ? permitted: /p??m?t?d/
-recommend ? recommended: /?rek??mend?d/
Also, these two and three-syllable words add one more syllable when pronouncing the -ed ending. Indeed, when it comes to regular verbs with a /t/ or a /d/ as a final sound in the infinitive, adding one syllable to pronounce the past simple is the key to getting it right.

How to Pronounce -ed Endings
Pronouncing -ed endings in the past simple and past participle of regular verbs usually gives the students of English as a foreign language a hard time.
However, it´s not that difficult. We must let common sense help us here.
The first thing to take into account is that there are only 3 ways to pronounce this ending:
/ed/ is not an option! :)
The ending -ed is pronounced /t/ in regular verbs whose last sound in the infinitive is unvoiced: /f/, /k/, /p/, /s/, /?/, /t?/, /?/. E.g.:
-like ? liked: /la?kt/
-stop ? stopped: /st?pt/
-laugh ? laughed: /l??ft/ *Note that it´s the sound and not the spelling what counts.
For all other final sounds (including the vowel sounds) in the infinitive of regular verbs, the ending -ed is pronounced /d/. E.g.:
-listen ? listened: /?l?snd/
-discover ? discovered: /d??sk?v?d/
-allow ? allowed: /??la?d/
In fact, it´s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to pronounce the sound /d/ after an unvoiced sound. If you try to pronounce "liked", for example, with a final /d/ sound, you´ll realize you cannot do it. It´s a sound /t/ what comes out, isn´t it?
Anyway, the difference in the pronunciation between the /t/ and the /d/ endings is insignificant. Therefore, if you can get the /?d/ sound right, you can count yourself lucky. That´s good enough!
-like ? liked: /la?kt/
-stop ? stopped: /st?pt/
-laugh ? laughed: /l??ft/ *Note that it´s the sound and not the spelling what counts.
For all other final sounds (including the vowel sounds) in the infinitive of regular verbs, the ending -ed is pronounced /d/. E.g.:
-listen ? listened: /?l?snd/
-discover ? discovered: /d??sk?v?d/
-allow ? allowed: /??la?d/
In fact, it´s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to pronounce the sound /d/ after an unvoiced sound. If you try to pronounce "liked", for example, with a final /d/ sound, you´ll realize you cannot do it. It´s a sound /t/ what comes out, isn´t it?
Anyway, the difference in the pronunciation between the /t/ and the /d/ endings is insignificant. Therefore, if you can get the /?d/ sound right, you can count yourself lucky. That´s good enough!
So, the key question is, when do we pronounce /?d/?
Well, it´s quite straightforward and this is when common sense plays its role: when the last sound of the verb in the infinitive is /t/ or /d/, adding a /t/ or a /d/ sound wouldn´t make any difference, that´s why we need to add the syllable /?d/ to really distinguish the infinitive from the past simple and past participle. E.g.:
-want ? wanted: /?w?nt?d/
-end ? ended: /?end?d/
-hate ? hated: /?he?t?d/ *Remember: It´s the sound and not the spelling what matters!
As you can see, these one syllable words turn disyllabic.
-permit ? permitted: /p??m?t?d/
-recommend ? recommended: /?rek??mend?d/
Also, these two and three-syllable words add one more syllable when pronouncing the -ed ending. Indeed, when it comes to regular verbs with a /t/ or a /d/ as a final sound in the infinitive, adding one syllable to pronounce the past simple is the key to getting it right.
