- 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!

It's done now the speaking practice at the end, very nice by the way, I liked the whole video but I think they're my favorite minutes in your performance, practice time 👌🥳
Of course Emma, I've loved all the practice a lot! It's always essential and crucial for each beginner English student, maybe for not beginners only?! How do you consider?
I'm entirely sure it would be really great to have this kind of talking practice next. If it doesn't bring you some difficulties, certainly! I'm trying to look out for you! Thanks for asking your devoted students👍
Thank you for tips..I will always do following what you said.
Appreciate your efforts 👏👏.
Yeah it goes without saying I need more lessons like this one
You are the No.1 teacher who is logical and clearly.
Emma, I'm from Brazil and I'm starting to study English, starting from the basics and I'm loving your videos, they're helping me a lot. thankful.
I'm so glad! Thank you for your comment 🥰
I am from Brazil as well and I could not agree more with you! Good luck dear❤️

Hi, this lesson is crucial if someone wants to speak naturally. So please keep up the good work with other contractions and reductions.
So nice to see you again on your CZcams channel.
Thank you so much for this new lesson about contractions which I be found it very useful for communicating fluently with English speaker and particularly natives.
You usually make your famous English easier to all kinds of English learners .
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 😪
Hi Teacher Emma! Thank you a lot for the lessons! It's so uncomplicated! Finally, I could understand some sounds and how to pronounce them.
Thankyou ma'am 😊 for such a beautiful video
I love the way you teach this! I also appreciate seeing the differences explained between British & American (haven't etc). Thank you! I'll have my students watch this 👍
I’ve never seen such a good subject exposed in English . Congrats
Hi Emma, I hope you're doing good. This is a beneficial and essential lesson for non-native speakers. I love how you explained it and helped me improve my listening and speaking skills in English.
I am looking forward to more of this. Thank you so much.
She's not gonna answer you buddy 😅
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."
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
It is defenetly a great lesson to practice and apply it on daily basis . THANKS EMMA . U R GREAT!!
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.
This teacher is great. Teach very well. Congratulations! I'm learning too with her class.
Hi Emma! Thank you for this lesson! It's a great collection of the most frequently used contractions. I'll save it to my playlist
Great idea, Alex!
WOW! That's awesome! I always wanted to improve my pronunciation on these contractions. This video helped me a lot. And the way it's structured, it helped me to practice the contractions. Thanks a lot Emma. You are a rock star!
I'm touched by your comment, thank you!! 🥰
I hope this lesson helps you speak more naturally!

I was waiting for “AIN’T”. Thank you. I always pronounce “we’re” as “weir” and not “where”. Hmmm. Never too late. Great lesson for today!!!
I think "weir" is an American pronunciation :) That's what I say, too, and I'm a native speaker from the U.S.
@@LearnAcademicEnglish I see. Now I understand. Thank you.
It is indeed weir sound for we're.😊
Wow! Thanks a lot for the class
