Hi, jeoff this model verbs contraction exercises is extremely important because someone who is not able understand when native using these contractions this video is very helpful for that
@@FluentAmerican As a matter of fact I do, most of the time. I'm still working on my placement. It's really difficult to change from Spanish placement to English placement once I was using Spanish placement for a lot of time, at the end of the day specially.
Hi, jeoff, This is an extremely useful these contractions, but sometimes for example, she has or he has when native use contractions we also use he is vs he's I do one thing I see which tenses native speakers has used present perfect tense or simple present tense that I recognize. Thanks.
Thank you for teaching contractions. The topic is so important. A question about 'he'll" pronunciation at 3:09. Is this a lazy kind of pronunciation? There's no sound of "i" at all, it is replaced with either 'shwa' or 'o'. And it is not recognized as he'll by my ESL ear. I can recognize it in the phrase (but rather because of context), but not on it's own. It doesn't sound like he'll to me. Could you elaborate on this? Probably you already have video on this?
Hi andrew, thanks for writing! The /i/ sound is possible, but we have to understand that "he'll" and many contractions typically are reduced parts of sentences. That means the vowel is going to become weaker and shift to a different sound in many cases. Very often, "he'll" will not actually be pronounced with an /i/ sound at all. This isn't to do with laziness or carelessness. This is due to sentence stress patterns--reduced parts of sentences have things like this occur regularly, in both formal and informal settings. Here are more examples of native speakers making different variations of "he'll". Some examples where "he'll" will go through this reduction include example number #2, #3 (the first time is reduced and the second is not), #4, #17, #21
sorry the link didn't go through: youglish.com/pronounce/he%27ll%20go/english/us? the number refers to the example at the top (e.g., 2 out of 787)@@andrewdatar9880
@@FluentAmerican Cool, thank you for pointing out. Yes, I hear the contractions Future proofing the examples in case numbers are changed: #2 trying to wave someone down and here comes the police car and he'll go right #3 He'll go to Kenya where he'll participate in the Global #4 called Maharishi Vastu architecture, which he'll go into a little #17 He'll go if we'll go and they'll go if you'll #21 But the other thing he does is he'll go to the county fair In #4 - I can't help but hear "which she'll" and not "which he'll". Distinguishing consonants sometimes is hard too ))
Hi, jeoff, Can I use both reductions? I saw two types of reductions could not have, should not have, and would not have. I believe the second reduction is the best option for me I prefer the second because of the heavy nasal N consonant but the first is also excellent. What are your thoughts? Thanks coach.
