Regular Past Verbs Pronunciation

Has anyone know if there is a rule about the -ed ending pronunciation /t/ or /d/ sound?
Is sound /t/ after plosive sounds like /K/ and /d/ after implosive?

I�ve got a game for pronunciation : Here it goes = Give a list of verbs to your stds, & ask them Who did it , David, Pat or Todd ?
eg : David painted (id), Pat worked ( t), Todd opened ( d)...:o)

I teach my students a rhyme about this.
If there �s a d or a t, then you do say the e.
If there �s no d or t, then you don �t say the e.
We also talk about "Poor ded Ted". (yes, "ded" is incorrect, but it helps the students to visualize.
As far as the voiced or unvoiced sound (what you call plosive and implosive), I believe it will match.
i.e. raised (s makes the /z/ sound, which is voiced, and d is also voiced)
raked (k is unvoiced, d makes the /t/ sound, which is unvoiced) |

Hi! -ed endings in regular simple past verbs are pronounced /id/ only when the infinitive verb ends in letters d or t.
Then when the infinitive verb ends in a voiceless sound (except for /t/) the ending is pronounced /t/ and when the infinitive verb ends in a voiced sound (except for /d/) the ending is pronounced /d/.
So, as you said, after /k/ as it is voiceless the ending is pronounced /t/ and if you have a voiced sound like /b/ for instance, we pronounce it /d/.
Anyway, when I teach simple past to my teenage students I don �t think thay can recognise or at least remember this voiced-voiceless difference so I just tell them to pronounce it like a final d or t; or even just like a t (as a final d is in many cases devoiced sounding almost like a t).
Hope it helps you, let me know if I was clear
