So the first one we change is of and have to uh the schwa

Say it with me

Most of some of a lot of type of kind of anything of

You can change that of - just the sound say it with me to practice most of moster

some of summer a

lotta

Typer

Kinder

again faster moster summer a lotta

typer

kinder

If you didn't know to be out of something means you have no more of that

things finished done by by that thing, but the pronunciation

How do you pronounce that?

Outer no, we're out of doughnuts

What kind of movies do you like

kinda kinda

What kind of movies do you like?

Say it with me practice. What kind of movies do you like?

Do you pronounce that?

type of

typer

Eileen comedy-action that type of thing

Just so you know type of kind of they mean the same thing

Most important of all, we don't reduce to just a

When there's a vowel sound after for example

Most important of all sounds good

most important all

sounds ridiculous don't reduce to a

When there's a vowel sound after

Might have could have would have should have all the other modal verbs with have afterwards

So how do they sound for language geeks?

the have reduces to of a schwa with

Might've say with me could've

Would've should've

But also

You might hear the contraction even further to just the schwa

mighta

coulda

woulda shoulda

and

Again, all the other modal verbs would have also in negative same rules apply

so couldn't have can reduce to couldn't've say with me couldn't've or

Just a kid inter

couldn'ta

wouldn't a

shouldn'ta very common in fast spoken english

Not written English and definitely not formal slow clear. Speech

If you have a friend like this then you could say to them you should have gone to bed earlier you should have

Gone to bed earlier

even more contracted shoulda

You shoulda gone to bed earlier. You should have gone to bed earlier

What are the rules and exceptions

If you say I didn't have breakfast

Yes, this the verb have but you don't contract this one

You don't say I didn't have breakfast. You don't say that. No, why because

It's those situations like in modal's of deduction

For example you must have slept late. Yes, you can contract that

You must have slept late. You musta slept late. You must have slept late. That's fine

So in a conversation you're speaking quickly, how do you reduce this I would have

I'd have right if I had watched papa teach me I'd have learned a lot

That's fine, but we can reduce it even more

idath

We can reduce it further, Ida

Say it with me, Ida

So repeat with me if I watch papa teach me Ida learned a lot

These contractions these reductions are for spoken English

more specifically

quick

spoken English

casual conversations

Only if you're speaking slowly and clearly and carefully

You probably won't reduce these

Also if you're writing a test

Definitely not you will fail that test. These are not written at all. These are only spoken

remember that

Don't get me in trouble with your teacher

Another example a past conditional

Someone didn't go to the party, but you know if they had gone to the party

They would have liked it. So you can say to that person. Oh, you didn't go to the party

You'd have you'd have liked the party say with me you'd have liked the party

Contract it even more

Yuda Yuda like the party know you to love the party say with me yuda

Do you want to come to a party tonight submit night future perfect I will have gone to bed by then you want to say

before that

time

this will happen I

Will have gone to bed

I'll have could reduce - I

Love but in fast spoken speech we could pronounce this like ila

Midnight ila go on to bed by then again again only for spoken fast English

not slow careful speech

Definitely not written

Most of the time - gets reduced to

Language gigs this is for you

T & schwa, it's tough to say it with me. Tur now. I want to show you some exceptions

So I'm gonna show you a few different ones

Want to I want to go home say with me I want to go home

that's fine, but it's much more common to reduce this to I

Wanna I want to go home if you're watching this video in class

Look at your teacher in the face in the eye and say to your teacher. I want to go home. I

Want to go where's your teacher sitting there? I want to go home. They want to go home

Going to yes, you can contract to going to and

Of course, you can contract to gonna it's much more common just to say gunner

Gunner I once worked with a teacher who said this you, you know, all this gunner and one up

I just I don't want to teach it in classes because it's American and it's just wrong

I mean, that's a legit question gonna wanna are they destroying English? Are they just American and we shouldn't use them

No, it's fine. You can say them and you should say them because they sound natural this and fine one very common mistake

Be going to that's a future tense. It's

Kind of like will so we said I future go home fine

however

You can also use I'm going to be going to as a present continuous tense

For example, I'm going right now to

school to work and

This is the mistake I see

I'm going to school that's fine because that's a present continuous tense, right but

You can only reduce going to to gonna if it's a future tense

So I'm gonna school no as a future tense. I'm gonna go

to school fine

But I'm gonna school

No, you don't contract the present continuous going to to gonna you don't do that

I've got two

We reduce this. Yes, but we don't often pronounce it like gotta

We often do that

American D thing

We say I've got a I've got to go in American English gara

See they also do the gara

British gotta

Australian

Gotta and of course or two, which means should you should go to the hospital?

Yet we can say otter you really ought to go to the doctor. So

notice that the two it's never stressed and

Also, this sound is never stressed. The schwa is a lazy sound you ought to go to the hospital

Have to and has two

Language nerds that's for you have to sounds like hafta have to say it with me after

You're tired you want to go home I have to leave after say with me after I have to leave

Sorry, I have to leave

has to

Hasta he has to leave I have to leave

he has to leave an

Example with this one. He has to finish some work say with me he has to I

have to I

have to

Make sure that syllable is not stressed

That one is the stressed one after

after

hasta hasta rhymes with pasta

In let me and give me very easy

Just remove the last sound of those two words. So let me becomes

Lemmy and give me

gimme repeat with me lemme

Let me tell you a story

Gimme

Give me a few minutes

Eight the short explanation is this

Ain't means be not so I am NOT you are not he/she. It is not or

Have not

Got it can mean either of those things, but it doesn't follow

Traditional grammar rules it doesn't change for the third person. For example

This is considered bad grammar. Keep that in mind, but you will hear it. So, how do you use it?

For example with peanuts I saw the movie anchored

You can say it that way, but again know that it's considered bad grammar

But in songs you'll hear it in TV and movies. You will hear it. So some people use it

Really because their style of speech involves a lot of bad grammar

But sometimes if you are well-spoken

You might use this to speak emphatically to put some

Strength to what you're saying. I

Ain't happy

So if you compare that to I'm not happy that

One sounds a bit stronger. There's a bit of style to it

That's the difference and of course for have not or have not got you could say

I ain't got any money

No, it means I have not got any money

But remember I said this doesn't follow grammar rules. It's more used with people who often

Speak with bad grammar so you can change this too

Ain't got no money. Yeah, it's not correct, but you will hear it

In it this is also not considered correct grammar

So if someone speaks with a style of bad grammar, they might say this

not in American English

They don't say it British English. Yes, American English. No, it means

Isn't it a tag question? For example?

Cole today

Isn't it?

That's the correct way of asking this question

However, you could in a bad english style say for Cole today in it

interesting fact in the north of England

northern English they would say

Int it southern London English my English

Coal today, isn't it bad English coal today innit?

Northern English called today inter I don't know where that voice came from
