You CAN use contractions ending in 'd!

After a long time learning and practicing English, this is undoubtedly the best explanation of the most common situations you face with native speakers using contractions. I love your videos!

Wow, another eye-opening video from you, Lori! I was aware of contractions with had and would, but I've never actually used them with "did."

[@pronunciationsnippets]

Thanks, Susanne! Yes, and as you probably already recognized, "did" can't be used with all of these words as a contraction. It can be used for the questions words ("wh" words and "how"), but it can't be used with pronouns. For example, "He did a good job" can't be said as "He'd a good job." 😉
