In English, the past tense suffix is pronounced as [-t] in verbs like slapped, missed, and faked. However, it is pronounced as [

-d] in verbs like danced, killed, smeared, gazed, banned, and nabbed. What is the reason for this?

Answer:

It has to do with voicing assimilation (voiced sounds vs, unvoiced sounds at the end of the word stem.) before the suffix is added.

Explanation:

Ex....

'P' is a voiced consonant (with your hand in front of your mouth, you feel a puff of air on your hand), so it's phonologically easier (more natural) to say a          '-t' sound immediately afterward.

'N,' in contrast has no puff of air, so it's a voiceless sound.

Why might Shakespeare use thy or thee rather then you in a characters speech what might be the purpose of change in wording
Tatiana [17]
<span>I had this same question and this was the correct answer:
</span><span>Thee, Thou, Thy and Thine (You and Your)
</span>It’s a common myth that Shakespeare never uses the words “you” and “your” – actually, these words are commonplace in his plays. However, he also uses the words “thee / thou” instead of “you” and the word “thy / thine” instead of “your”. Sometimes he uses both “you” and “thy” in the same speech. This is simply because in Tudor England the older generation said “thee” and “thy” to denote a status or reverence for authority. Therefore when addressing a king the older “thou” and “thy” would be used, leaving the newer “you” and “your” for more informal occasions. Soon after Shakespeare’s lifetime, the older form passed away!
