have to V / need to V
phonetics
The most basic tools used to express obligation, they form a phonetic unit with the following verb. In the most informal speech, one hears:
- They all need to see a doctor.
nidtə(ʊ)si: - We have to stop using so much petrol.
hæftəstɑp - I really have to go now.
hæftəgəʊ - She has to finish cooking the books.
hæstəfɪnɪʃ
- Have and has can not be phonetically reduced on the left side.
- have never becomes ə(v) as it does preceding a past participle.
- has never becomes z as it does in She's got time.
The reduction takes place around the pivot "to", as with the verbs going to V and want to V, where even the t disappears!
- I'm going to go. (sometimes written: I'm gonna' go.)
'ɡɔnəgoʊ - I want to be... (sometimes written: I wanna' be.)
'wɑnəbi
Exercise 1: Pronunciation
Practice pronouncing these verbal elements in a relaxed register:
- has to start:
hæstəstɑrt - had to stop:
hædtəstəstɑp - have to start dealing with:
hædtəstəstɑrtdi:lɪɳwɪθ - has to get done:
hæstəgetdʌn - 'll have to get it done:
lhæftəgetdʌn
