0:01Welcome back to my video.
0:03Today, we're going to be talking about informal
contractions including the word ‘to’.
0:08Now, it's important to remember that these
contractions are just for speaking not for writing.
0:14So if you memorize them, and learn how to
say them, well you'll be sounding just like a native speaker.
0:23Okay, here I have my list of contractions
including ‘to’.
0:28And these contractions are going to use the
‘schwa’ ‘uh’ sound.
0:34And I have some examples for you that I need
you to repeat after me each time.
0:39I will say it slowly first and then at a native speaker speed second.
0:45Make sure you repeat each time.
0:49‘going to’ = ‘gonna’
‘I’m not gonna tell you.’
0:57‘I’m not gonna tell you.’

‘have to’ = ‘hafta’
1:05‘You hafta study English.’
1:10‘You hafta study English.’
1:14‘has to’ = ‘hasta’
‘She hasta work today.’
1:22‘She hasta work today.’
1:25‘used to’ = ‘usta’
‘She usta live in London.’
1:34‘She usta live in London.’
1:39‘supposed to’ = ‘supposta’
‘I’m supposta start a new job.’
1:48‘I’m supposta start a new job.’
1:52‘ought to’ = ‘oughta’
‘You oughta phone your sister.’
2:00‘You oughta phone your sister.’
2:04‘need to’ = ‘needa’
You needa buy apples at the store.’
2:12You needa buy apples at the store.’
