Hi everybody, In pronunciarion.....
I am confused about the weak and the strong form in the modal verbs as in :
1. he mustn �t say that.
2. he should have practised sport first.
Which part of the verb is weak and which one is stron ?
Thank you in advance |

Must is always stronger than should.

He mustn �t say that! Instead of: He must not say that!
He should �ve said that Instead of should have !
Is that what you mean. ? You are talking about pronunciation aren �t you? Or are you not?

You mentioned you were confused about the weak forms in pronunciation. Here the weak forms are the "n �t" in "musn �t" and the " �ve" in "should �ve". |
