Common Mispronunciations of Starred
Not STAH-red
Nothing between the r and the d is spoken. Starred holds one beat, while started holds two because a t sits in front of the ending.
Not stuh-RED
The doubled r is written to protect the short ah and adds no second beat of its own.
Tip: Star, starring, starred: the r doubles in the spelling every time, and the sound never changes.
