Hi. It's Day 18.
We're gonna have a short but useful lesson today.
There's somethin' that I'm doin' with my -ing endings right now.
Do you know what?
English with Jennifer
In fast speech, the -ing ending usually sounds like -in.
We drop the G.
So "something" sounds like somethin'.
And "doing" sounds like doin'.
One exception is "going."
It could sound like goin', for example: Are you goin' now?
But when we have "going to" Americans very often say "gonna."
For example: Are you gonna leave now?
Just remember that "gonna" is a spoken form, not a written one.
Look at these examples.
I'll same them fast.
Pay particular attention to how I drop the G
in the -ing endings.
Listen closely. You know what to do.
I'll say a sentence fast.
You try to understand.
That's all for now.
Thanks for watching and happy studies.
