I have a lot of difficulty telling if a person has pronounced a present or past form of certain verbs during rapid speech.
Consider the forms: derive/derived
I know that in the past form I should hear the final d, but sometimes I don't hear it.
I'm trying another approach, so I would like to know if there is a change in the vowel in -rive/-rived, so maybe I can distinguish by appreciating the change in the vowel.
