muy interesante ,no sabia que las contracciones se pronunciaban ,en el caso de I´ve creia que solo era para abreviarlo en forma escrita pero no en la pronunciacion

@@pimponesunmuneco5417 soy americana (no sé por qué estoy mirando esto pero bueno😂). En inglés también pronunciamos it’d cuando hablamos y suena como “it-id” pero rápido. Lo siento por errores gramaticales en mi español. ¡Buena suerte con inglés!❤️

I remember our English teacher would threaten to deduct points from our grades, if we ever used any contraction during written tests, especially when it came to using "would, could, should". She wanted to see those verbs in use; to her, using contractions to write "[pronoun]'d" was the same as cheating, no matter the context. 😅
