If the verb has a 'd' or a 't' sound before 'ed' you need to pronounce 'id'. If it doesn't, don't pronounce an extra syllable. Be careful! It's the sound, not the letter: 'decide' is pronounced 'decide-id' even though it ends in 'e', because we don't say the 'e', so the last sound is 'd'.So for example:For the other two sounds it doesn't matter so much.f it doesn't, don't pronounce an extra syllable. Be careful! It's the sound, not the letter: 'decide' is pronounced 'decide-id' even though it ends in 'e', because we don't say the 'e', so the last sound is 'd'.
Whether you prefer Thin Mints or Samoas, the pint-sized entrepreneurs peddling their sweet treats are making an awful lot of dough off of our national obsession with Girl Scout cookies. In fact, all told, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is an $8 million business.
Each Girl Scout council determines the price of the cookies, the amount per box each troop will receive for the boxes they sell, and the incentives the girls can earn. According to information on a Girl Scout discussion group, in 2011, the lowest amount a troop receives is $0.45 per box and the highest is $0.76 per box.
