- Weak Forms
There are a large number of words in English which can have a “full” form and a “weak” form. We tend to swallow non-essential words. Thus, conjunctions, pronouns, prepositions, auxiliaries and articles are often lost. Some examples of words which have weak forms are;- And
fish and chips (fish´n chips)
a chair and a table (a chair ´n a table)
- Can
She can speak Spanish better than I can (The first “can” is the weak form, the second the full form.)
- Of
A pint of beer
That´s the last of the wine!
- Have
Have you finished? (weak)
Yes, I have. (full)
- Should
Well, you should have told me. (Both “should” and “have” are weak here)
- And
What aspects of humans have made us a successful species?
