⚙️”-T” AND “-D” BEFORE

A CONSONANT

​

When we speak quickly, we sometimes don’t pronounce parts of words. This is especially true with very common words, like the linkers “and”, “but”, “because”, “so” and “for example”.

​

• but → sounds like → 'bt' /bt/
• because → sounds like → 'cos' /kəz/
• for example → sounds like → 'frexample' /frɪg'zɑːmpl/
• and → sounds like → 'n' /n/
• so → sounds like → 's' /s/

⚙️LINKERS IN

FAST SPEECH

​

​

Make your voice go higher and lower to sound as if you really mean what you’re saying. If you use a flat intonation (entonación plana), it can sound as if you don’t really care.

EXPRESSIONS

⚙️”-T” AND “-D” BEFORE

A CONSONANT

​

• We can use prefixes (e.g. “un-”, “dis-”, “im-”) at the beginning of some adjectives to give the opposite meaning.
• happy → unhappy
• organized → disorganized
• polite → impolite
• We often use “a bit” before an adjective with a negative meaning to sound more polite.
• He’s a bit disorganized.
• There are no rules about which prefixes to use, you have to learn them by practice and exposition to language.
