  • You use almost the same vocabulary.

  • You follow the same dictionary.

  • Water is that one thing that differentiates?

  • Ah, fluent English speaker from an average English one.

  • If you notice a fluent English speaker, they make use off a lot of contractions.

  • Formal contractions on the informal contractions, formal contractions such as he's she's your that they teach you all these contractions in school.

  • You have studied them in school, but what they don't teach you in school are informal contractions on.

  • That sometimes makes understanding native English speakers a little difficult.

  • So in this lesson today, I'm going to help you understand some informal contractions used by native English speakers.

  • You'll find these contractions in English movies.

  • You'll never find these contractions in any English textbooks because apparently they are informal because these contractions are always used in spoken English.

  • You do not use them in indecent English.

  • These contractions make your spoken English sound natural.

  • One more time I am gonna meet my friend tonight Let me lemme is again something that is not unheard off.

  • Lemme is let space meat in the sentence Let me speak to my brother which means please allow me to speak to my brother.

  • If we was contraction in this, it changes to let me speak to my brother one more time.

  • Let me speak to my brother.

  • Two words Let me down together and they become Lemme Lemme speak to my brother.

  • Next open the list is nida.

  • I need a sharpener.

  • I I find it a chocolate right now, for example, Up next we have is outer another very, very important contraction that I've not seen a lot of people using it.

  • Please try using it.

  • Let's get down to the meaning.

  • Outer means out off.

  • For example.

  • I'm standing out of this building.

  • It changes to I'm standing outer this building one more time I'm standing out of this building.

  • Another such example would be, for example, if you want to get out of a conversation with somebody because you are frustrated or you don't just want to be a part of that conversation, you can say I am out of this conversation one more time.

  • I am out of this conversation.

  • That's right.

  • I hope you're saying it after me next one is tuna Do not is a contracted form off Don't know?

  • Well, I've seen a lot of kids using this, especially in quite informal language.

  • Local parlance in our world around us, for example.

  • I don't know what she said changes to I don't know what she said.

  • For example, another example for this would be I don't know what you mean can change too.

  • I don't know what you mean.

  • I don't know what you mean.

  • I don't know.

  • The next one on the list is one of my most favorite one ones in the list of contracted forms of words that we use Actually on it is called I'ma.

  • I'ma is quite an informal contraction.

  • I spent about 15 years of my life abroad on in that in that such a long span of time, especially in the initial years, I started seeing all of all my classmates using I'ma I'ma quite a lot and I would not understand what they mean.

  • I'm are primarily means I am going to For example I am going to the park one more time I am going to the park changes to I'ma Park I'ma to the park I'ma to the park.

  • Another example is I am going to the party.

  • It changes, too.

  • I'm a party.

  • Yes, you heard it right.

  • Although it sounds a little tricky on Dhe.

  • Slightly wrong, but it is not.

  • It is an absolutely correct sentence in English language.

  • I'm a party.

  • It is a very, very informal contraction on it primarily means I am going to party.

  • Next one we have is tell him.

  • Tell him is something that I've heard in a lot of songs, especially Justin Bieber's songs.

  • If you if you hurt them and tell him primarily means tell them, for example, tell them to lock the door.

  • We can use it like this.

  • Tell him to look to lock the door one more time.

  • Tell him to lock the door.

  • No, it's time to look at the next one sorter Sword, Eyes again after I'm a one of my favorite.

  • Once sorter means that sort off, and I have seen a lot of my British friends using sort of sort or sort of everywhere in Ike Sort is the favorite phrase, a world that they used together.

  • Favorite contraction sorter is sort off.

  • For example, she is sort off a good actor.

  • And if you have to say it fluently in a contractor form, you say she is sort of good after one more time.

  • She is sort of a good actor.

  • Let's move to the next one.

  • Now, next on the list is gotcha.

  • Gotcha is got it.

  • What is it?

  • I got it.

  • It means that you understand whatever has been said.

  • For example, if somebody says got it, you respond with a got it.

  • But if somebody says gotcha, what should you respond with?

  • Gotta Absolutely.

  • Next up in the list of contractions is cause cause is again very, very.

  • I would not say unheard off, but not a lot of people use it.

  • And I'm sure I'm certain if you use cause in your daily life as you speak English, I think it's gonna add a lot of charm to your sentences that you make on.

  • People will listen to you very, very carefully because it means because, for example, I did that because I wanted to.

  • It changes, too.

  • I did that kiss.

  • I wanted to one more time.

  • I did that because I wanted to.

  • On the last one in the list that we have is hasta Haftar.

  • Quite quite really quite a rhythm in itself.

  • Hasta stance for has to I have to stand stance bull I have to.

  • For example, he has to attend the party.

  • He has to attend the party.

  • Let's to the contracted form together he has to attend the party.

  • Let's come to after have I would like to mention a very important point a year Have the sound The worst sound in have to change is to for half toe half toe, for example I have toe attend the party, for example They I have to attend the party on dhe.

  • This brings us to the end of this lesson.

  • That is all I have for you in this lesson.
