Listening Strategy

In connected speech, some sounds disappear when we join words together. This is especially true of /d/ and /t/ sounds at the end of a word, when the next word begins with a consonant. The more you listen, the more you will get used to this.

2. Read the Listening Strategy. Read the sentences and circle the /d/ and /t/ sounds that will probably disappear. (They don’t all disappear.)

  • 1)
    The elephants moved slowly by.
  • 2)
    Jim walked into the living room.
  • 3)
    Stella liked watching the birds in her garden.
  • 4)
    Tom studied drama at school.
  • 5)
    My parents watched the news.
  • 6)
    The cat climbed up the tree.

3. Listen. Decide if the webs in the sentences are past simple, or present simple. Write Past, Present, or DK (don’t know) if you cannot tell the tense just be listening.
