What is Understanding English Weak Forms about?

English has special "weak" forms for function words like pronouns, prepositions, and auxiliary verbs that are reduced and used in most cases. Using weak forms adds to fluency and is one reason non-natives have trouble understanding native English speech. Weak forms are not used when a function word is stressed, stranded at the end of a phrase, or used as a meaningful word rather than a function word. Reference materials like Jones (2006) and Wells (2000) provide detailed information on individual weak forms
