Some sounds in English are voiced (your vocal chords move) and some are voiceless (your vocal chords DO NOT move).
The RULES
1. If the base word ends in a voiceless sound, -ed sounds like /t/.
2. If the base word ends in a voiced sound, -ed sounds like /d/.
3. If the base word ends in a /t/ or /d/ sound, -ed sounds like /id/.
Only add an extra syllable in the 3rd case.
1. worked = workt
2. travel = traveld
2. wanted = want-ed
