you just pronounce it the way it sounds. like did is did, sounded is sounded. don't is don't. ITS CRAZY, I KNOW, but thats just how it goes.

Raced would have the sound of race+d at the end.
Wanted would have the sound of want+ed at the end.
If the word normally ends in a consonant, there will generally be the ed sound at the end.
If the word normally ends in a vowel, there will generally just have the added "d" sound a tthe end.
When in doubt, check the pronunciation in the dictionary. Quite a useful book, really.

If the word, *without* the "ed", ends in D or T, say "id". If it does not, but ends instead in either a vowel or a "voiced" consonant such as B, G, H (?), J, L, M, N, R, V, W, Y, or Z, say "d". If it ends instead in an "unvoiced" consonant such as, C, F, K, P, Q (?), S, T, or X, say "t".
Incidentally, D is actually "voiced", and T, "unvoiced", but as pointed out, they are exceptions. And by "voiced", is meant that you can "sing" them, for lack of a better explanation. Try "singing" Z, and also S; you'll find you can do the first and not the second.
HTH!

When the final sound before the "ed" is voiced, you use /d/. (for example, "cry" becomes "cried" because the /ai/ vowel sound is voiced)
When the final sound before the "ed" is voiceless, you use the "t" sound (walk becomes "walked" because /k/ is voiceless.)
When the sound at the end of the word and the "ed" ending are the same, you add an emphatic vowel. ("hate" becomes "hated" because the sounds are phonetically similar).

sadly it depends on the word, and seems to have no ryme or reason.
depended id
liked t or d
think if you add ed, then it is id, but if it has an e and you just add a d then it is d or t depending on accent.
