Common mistakes of agreed pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners put stress on the second syllable, saying /əˈɡriːd/. The correct pronunciation is /əˈɡriːd/ in both US and UK. Tip: Remember that the stress is on the second syllable, "gri".
  2. Omitting the vowel sound: A common mistake is to drop the initial vowel sound, pronouncing it as /ɡriːd/. This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Always pronounce the initial "a" as /ə/, sounding like "uh".
  3. Incorrect vowel length: Some may pronounce "agreed" with a short "ee" sound, as in /əˈɡrɪd/. The correct sound is a long "ee" /iː/. Tip: Make sure to stretch the "ee" sound to convey the right meaning.
  4. Confusing with similar words: Learners might mix up "agreed" with "agree" and say /əˈɡriː/. "Agreed" is the past tense form. Tip: Practice saying both forms, focusing on the past tense ending "d" in "agreed".
  5. Mispronouncing the ending: Some may pronounce the "d" at the end softly or not at all, saying /əˈɡriː/. The correct pronunciation includes a clear "d" sound. Tip: Emphasize the "d" to ensure clarity in conversation.
