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.
The organization brings back a 2017 favorite, the S'more, along with the traditional Thin Mints, Samoas and Trefoils for its 101st year of cookie selling. More than 1 million Girl Scouts sell about 200 million boxes of cookies each cookie selling season, generating about $800 million. All of the money remains in a council's local area, funding Girl Scouts' activities and community projects.
