USEFUL PRONUNCIATION TIPS for the PAST FORM (Part 2 - Part 3)
In order to understand HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE "ED" in the past form of regular verbs, here I have a list that can be useful to many english learners.
There are 3 kinds of sound: /d/ /t/ /Id/

carried --> /d/
picked --> /t/
looked --> /t/
There is a simple rule that explains the pronunciation of the past tense ending:
If the verb stem ends in /t/ or /d/, the ending will be /Id/;
If the verb stem ends in any other voiceless consonant, it will be /t/;
In all other verbs (i.e. ending in a vowel or voiced consonant), /d/.
There are very similar rules for the pronunciation of the ending "-(e)s" (plural of nouns/3rd person singular present tense of verbs).

So mistakes with the 'id' endings.
Picked (ending sounds like 't' ending)
Looked (also has the 't' ending)
Carried - you are right it has the 'id' ending, but its different to all the other examples because the stress is on the first syllable rather than the second so it sounds slightly different.

Sorry, Gian, but you've made a mistake here with the /id/ verbs.
Remember :
The extra syllable /id/ is only added if it is impossible to pronounce the word by simply adding a /d/ or /t/ to the base form. This is only the case with verbs ending in the letters 't' or 'd'. For example, 'wanted' or 'needed'. These words have to add an extra syllable in the past.
However, it is perfectly possible to add a /t/ sound to a /k/ sound. The past of 'pick' is pronounced /pikt/ . It is NEVER pronounce /pikid/. That just isn't proper English. Likewise, with 'looked'. Both the base form and the past simple are a single syllable ending /kt/.
