8个常见缩略语contractions：提升地道口语的法宝之一

Secrets to speak English like Natives.
The secret is called: “contractions”-缩略语，简单的理解就是 的合并，缩写，连读。很多英语非常好，说的非常流利，可就是差了那么一点地道的感觉，其实就是因为他们还没有掌握这些听上去很地道的contractions。contractions are when you take two words and put them together to be one word, they just kind of melt together like two candles are。We have learned quite a few contractions from our text book such as cannot。which becomes can’t。or you have which becomes you’ve. But the contractions I wanna share with you today are probably not found in any textbook but natives use all the time in spoken English so that makes learning them important not only for your oral English but also for your listening .

Let's get started 8 common contractions that native speakers use every day in oral English but remember these contractions are informal so don't use them on a test but in your daily conversations you should try to use them as much as possible so that your english will sound very authentic.

All right.

1. WANNA: want to, do you wanna play ping pong after work。i just wanna watch tv and rest today
2. GONNA: this one may be a little difficult to guess but it's actually “going to”, like going to do something i'm GONNA cook dinner at six o'clock。when are you GONNA help me learn Chinese
3. DUNNO: don't know what does it mean i don't know。i don't know i don't know if i can join the party tonight and this one you can't use it to express doesn't know for example he DUNNO if he's coming to the party either。That’s incorrect
4. GIMME: give me, gimme five minutes and then i can join you. GIMMIE a break。
5. GOTTA: of course this means got to i've gotta go now. he's gotta do his homework before he can go out and play
6. LEMME。let me what do you think it means if you said let me you are correct let me write it down before i forget
7. SHOULDA: should have : I shoulda bought that necklace for her, she woulda be over the moon. You shoulda called me before coming over
8. COULDA: could have, similar to should have. i coulda worked on that project last night, but i didn't want to. I coulda told my boss to shut up but then i would have gotten fired

so there you go 8 common contractions, try to practice them in your daily conversation as possible as you can, you'll definitely sound more fluent and like you have more authentic English
