As a native speaker, you have shown me pronunciations of words that I never considered, like stressed vs unstressed. Very enlightening.

I have perceived that you are trying to convince us , the english learners the importance of paying attention for even subtle , slight differences in pronouncing those words mentioned by you in this viseo..dear english teacher thank you so much. May your shadow never grow less.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:36 🗣️ Function words in English sentences are usually unstressed and may get murmured or mumbled when spoken by native speakers. 01:37 🗣️ The word "that" can be stressed when used as a determiner or adverb, but it's unstressed when used as a conjunction to connect two clauses. 03:14 🗣️ The verb "be" has various forms like "am," "is," "are," "was," or "were," and they often become contractions when spoken quickly. 05:26 🗣️ Words starting with a vowel sound like "on" may get pulled towards the word before them when spoken quickly. 07:07 🗣️ The articles "a" and "an" are often unstressed in English sentences. 07:43 🗣️ The word "and" often becomes "n" when unstressed and connected to the previous word. 08:20 🗣️ The preposition "to" is usually unstressed and pronounced with the schwa sound when spoken quickly. 09:57 🗣️ The word "can" becomes a contraction "can't" when spoken quickly and stressed when emphasizing certainty. 10:28 🗣️ The word "not" often becomes contracted (e.g., "don't," "can't") when linked to a verb in a sentence. 12:53 🗣️ The definite article "the" has two unstressed forms depending on whether the word following it starts with a consonant or vowel sound.
