Hey everyone!
I have an English pronunciation tip for you today
! When saying words ending with an “ing” with the (ing) sound many English speakers will cut it shorter to just the (in) sound. This is especially common when someone is speaking quickly. For example:
Instead of: Are you coming to the store later?
You may hear: are you coming (comin) to the store later?
Coming / comin
Running / runnin
Playing / playin
Can you tell the difference?
Please note this is not technically proper, and is only in spoken English, never written.
Hope you found this helpful -thanks guys!
