Og'zaki nutqda qisqartmalar
Ingliz tilida so'zlashuvda qisqartmalar (I'm, it's, don't, I'd, we've, there's) deyarli har doim ishlatiladi. "I am going" deyish noto'g'ri emas, lekin tabiiy nutqda juda rasmiy va sekin eshitiladi. Qisqartmalar kuchsiz tovushlar bilan aytiladi: I'll /aɪl/, we'll /wɪl/, it'll /ˈɪtl/. "I'd" ham "I would", ham "I had" bo'lishi mumkin — kontekstdan tushuniladi. To'liq shaklni faqat ta'kidlash uchun ishlating: "I DO like it!"
Tipik xato: Yozma tildagidek to'liq shakllarni ishlatish ("I do not know", "It is very good") yoki qisqartmani noto'g'ri talaffuz qilish: "I'll" ni "ail" emas, "I-ll" deb ikki bo'g'in qilib aytish.
