Learn English Contractions using TO | Grammar and Pronunciation

Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to my video.

是林恩。

欢迎回到我的视频。

Today, we're going to be talking about informal contractions including the word ‘to’.

今天，我们将讨论非正式缩写，包括“to”一词。

Now, it's important to remember that these contractions are just for speaking not for writing.

现在，重要的是要记住，这些缩写仅适用于口语而非写作。

So if you memorize them, and learn how to say them, well you'll be sounding just like a native speaker.

因此，如果您记住它们并学习如何说它们，那么您听起来就会像母语人士一样。

Let's get started.

让我们开始吧。

Okay, here I have my list of contractions including ‘to’.

好的，这里有我的缩写列表，包括“to”。

And these contractions are going to use the ‘schwa’ ‘uh’ sound.

And I have some examples for you that I need you to repeat after me each time.

我为你准备了一些例子，需要你每次跟我重复一遍。

I will say it slowly first and then at a native speaker speed second.

我会先慢慢地说，然后以母语者的速度说。

Make sure you repeat each time.
