- I'm not referring to silent letters, as in "knife" or "clime" or "doubt." We often don't pronounce the initial H in pronouns such as "he" or "his." We often say "It's his house" instead of "It's his house." Repeat after me: "It's his house." "Is that his car?" "Did he go?" "Did he do it?" Let's listen to the way native speakers are reducing the H in "he." "And what did he say?" Repeat after me: "What did he?" "And what did he say?" "And what did he say?" "So what did he find out?" Repeat after me: "So what did he find out?" "What did he call it?" Repeat after me: "What did he call it?" And sometimes "what did he" even sounds like "whatdy." "Whatdy."
