Given what you have learned, offer an explanation of what’s happening in the following situation:

Sammy’s mother told him that the family would take a vacation in
Miami. The next morning, Sammy announced, “I gotted my bags packed. When
are we going to Your-ami?

____________________________________

Sami is taking the English rule that he innately knows, I turned it into a passed tense word by adding -ed. Instead of using “have,” he uses gotted because Sami believed that the correct word to use is got so he added the passed tense -ed to it to make gotten. He has also never heard the Miami before either so he remembers generally what it sounds like and pronounces in “your-ami.”

Sammy
is applying “ed” to the end of got because he believes that this is the
correct form of the word. This is probably because similar words he
knows end with “ed,” so he might assume all words end that way. He
probably pronounced Miami as “Your-ami” because he might have thought
the first part of the word was “your,” or he might not have been able to
fully pronounce the first part, so he pronounced it the closest way he
knew how to.
