Let´s talk about pronunciation tips ...
The following -ed words used as ADJECTIVES are pronounced with /ɪd/:
aged
dogged
ragged
blessed
learned
wicked
crooked
naked
wretched
So we say:
an aged man /ɪd/
a blessed nuisance /ɪd/
a dogged persistence /ɪd/
a learned professor - the professor, who was truly learned /ɪd/
a wretched beggar - the beggar was wretched /ɪd/
But when used as real VERBS (past simple and past participle), the normal rules apply and we say:
he aged quickly /d/
he blessed me /t/
they dogged him /d/
he has learned well /d/ or /t/
