Today, in this episode we’re going to be contracting the words HAS and HAVE onto seven different question words. So, we’ve obviously gone over both HAS and HAVE in previous episodes, but in this episode we’re going to do them both in the same episode. So, you guys are going to have to think on your feet a little bit.
The listen and repeat exercise that we’ll do now is going to be the seven question words, HOW, WHAT, WHICH, WHERE, WHO, WHEN and WHY. And I’ll go through each of these two times. I’ll go through them the first time with the word HAS. So, I’ll do the uncontracted version followed by the contracted version once for each of them. And then the second time I’m going to do it with the word HAVE uncontracted followed by contracted.
So, let’s just dive straight into it guys and do the listen and repeat exercise. So, listen and repeat after me.
Listen and repeat:
How has – How’s
What has – What’s
Which has – Which’s
Where has – Where’s
Who has – Who’s
When has – When’s
Why has – Why’s
How have – How’ve
What have – What’ve
Which have – Which’ve
Where have – Where’ve
Who have – Who’ve
When have – When’ve
Why have – Why’ve
So, that should be pretty intuitive guys. It shouldn’t be too hard to get your head around and understand. Repeat it a few times until making those contractions becomes subconscious, [it] becomes natural and you can do them without thinking.
And, as usual we’ll dive straight into the substitution exercise. And in this exercise today I’ve done numerous different examples with all the different question words, and I’ve tried to include examples with the word GOT as well using just the PAST PARTICIPLE. So, let’s just dive in and do it.
