Listening

Hearing adverbs

Adverbs can often be longer words,like occasionally or regularly,and when we‘re speaking,some of their syllables are made weaker
so they‘re easier to say,The -ly on the end is often not a very strong sound,but there are other parts that can be weaker,too.

Totally!I love it.

The -al in totally is a very quite sound compared to the other sounds in the word,and this part of a word is usually not strongly pronounced in English.

Listen for the sound of -ate in unfortunately in the next sentence.

unfortunately,I didn‘t see it.

The sound is very weak and makes the word quicker to say.Knowing that parts of words like -ate and -al will
usually be pronounced weakly can help usually
recognize them.You mighe also notice that un- is not strongly pronounced in this word either.
