She can give him a ride home, okay? So first of all, let's start with which of these words are you hearing me stress? So she can give him a ride home. She can give him a ride home, okay? So we stressed give ride and home. She can give him a ride home, okay? Why do we stress those words? Well, we went through that in the other class, but in general, we stress words that have content and meaning, okay? So she can give him a ride home. So what happens here is these are pronouns. This is a pronoun. This is a pronoun. This is an auxiliary verb and this is an article. So what happens with those in this particular sentence is that we reduce them. So she, we say very quickly, can we say can give we stress? So that's full. Him, we say like this, him. She can give him a ride home. We're going to say very quickly. It sounds just like this. She can give him a ride home. She can give him a ride home, okay? So we are reducing these circled words here, okay? So then we say, well, how do we know which words we are supposed to reduce? Okay? Here is the rule. In general, we reduce function words. So words like articles, uh, the and and, okay? Uh, the and and. This is the pronunciation. When we have this little uh like this, uh, this is the sound that is the most common sound in North American English. Okay, North American English. So, uh, it's this the infamous schwa. That is the most common vowel sound in English, okay? So it's really helpful for you guys to learn it and it's not it doesn't exist. It sounds like, uh, uh, just I always think it sounds like something's pushing you in the stomach. Okay? So we say this, uh, the, so we're not saying the we're not stressing these words. These are just very, they're almost just like quick sounds, but we need to reduce them. Otherwise, we were going we're going to sound if you do stress these sounds, you guys, you're going to sound either angry or, um, disappointed, or, um, you know, frustrated or like a robot. We don't want any of those things, okay? So we're going to reduce words like articles, okay? We're going to reduce conjunctions or and. So we're going to say, er, okay? Er, black or white, black or white. So you're saying black or white, okay? Um, and is a conjunction. We're just going to say and sometimes this is wrong here. Um, so black and white, black and white, black and white. All you actually really hear is this very small in or it could just simply just be an end sound. Okay? Okay, great. So let's see. Next we've got prepositions. Another set of words that we commonly reduce prepositions. So of two, four and at. So we're going to say them. We're like, of, of, t, t. He's going to the store to the store to the store, right? It's not saying to the store. I'm saying to the store. Okay? For so four, she's going to the store for eggs. She's going to the store for eggs. Okay? At. She's going to the store at six. Okay? At. At. At. It becomes very small. Okay? All right, pronouns we also so like here. Him. We're going to say.
