- I’ve got 20 common English contractions to practise with you today! l will teach you how to pronounce it’s, don't, you’ve, weren’t, ain't, aren't, haven’t, wasn't, hadn't and many more - so that you sound more natural when you speak English!
Contractions are shortened forms of English words, such as:
☑️ don’t
☑️ it’s
☑️ aren’t
☑️ they’ve
☑️ ain’t
☑️ hasn’t
They are extremely common in spoken English, and common in informal written English too. 📝 Learning to hear and use English contractions is one of the best ways to improve your listening skills and sound more natural when you speak in English!
So that is what we are going to do today!
Don’t miss the BONUS SPEAKING PRACTICE!! 🤩
I’ve included some conversation practice at the end of this lesson - so you can speak with me! We’ll practise using these contractions fluently, in a useful, everyday conversation between friends. 👯
Practise speaking fluently with me!

Dear Emma ,this topic ,contractions is one of the most useful performance .In english language is the pronanciation difficoult, this is my opinion.This video has helped me a lot.Congratulations to You and your Team, Gábor Szalai from Central Europe,Hungary…..You are really professional.
Hello Emma,
I love your english lesson here on youtube. You do a good job! Thanks so much!
The dialog at the end is a good practice. More of this please.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the dialogue, I'll incorporate more of them in future lessons 😃
I've learn so much from this channel, I m grateful for this.
Hello dear teachear from Buenos Aires Argentina. Thanks for your lesson! It's incredibly useful and interesting. We can practise a lot and I'm glad to learn more about other auxiliary verb pronunciation like modals, will, etc. Thanks again 💖🌹😘
Thanks Emma😀 This is an everyday lesson to practice🇲🇽
"ain't" is the contraction that is a little difficult to me
Also the pronunciation of these three words:
we're / were / where
It's tricky for me too actually (!!!) because I don't use it myself and it's not common to hear it where I'm from (Australia). But it can be used as BE + NOT in the present tense with ANY subject:
We *ain't* interested.
You *ain't* going to like it.
I *ain't* feeling it today.
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Aaaahhh.. excelent Emma thanks again :D
Greetings to Australia 🌏🦘
@@mmmEnglish_Emma You're always helpful to clarify most of the doubts we've had in pronouncing it right.
"Ain't" is too much for most of us when it's often abused with multiple negatives, like "It ain't nobody doing nothing", it's quite hard to understand such sentence, we'd thought it means "nobody is doing anything" but it can also mean "nobody isn't doing nothing"... LOL... too confusing listening to Chaka Khan's...
Ñ
Super useful lesson, Emma. All this time I've been pronouncing /aren't/ and /weren't/ in the wrong way.
Hello mmmEnglish my name is jamal mahomed. I live somalia. I am 18 years old. I watch your videos to be honest you are doing a great job for us. You help me to learn English and from now on I believe that you helped me to speak English and write. I would like to tell me if there is online classes which is for free. I am willing to be your student and join your class. I hope you seen my massage one day. My family is very poor that why I can't go private schools or expensive ones 😪

Thank you so much, Emma. Many of my group mates liked this video. 😊🙌🏻
Awesome! 🤗 Say hello to your group for me!
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Of course:)
@@mmmEnglish_Emma That's my WhatsApp group meant for improving English communication skills.
Hello Emma, I don't know whether you made a video about it already, but a video where you analize can vs. can't would be very interesting. Of course it's not too hard to tell them apart when pronounced by an Australian, but for us non native speakers it gets pretty confusing when pronounced by speakers from the US or Canada. Thanks and keep up the excellent work.
I really wanted you to teach this lesson thnk you so much Miss 😋

Perhaps not many people use it, but "had" is also usually contracted in the past perfect like "I'd been late until I got a new alarm clock."
