| The same happens to were and weren't. For example: somebody says" It wasn't me" I often interpret as "it was me" |

| Hi belly_ttt Speakers often do not release the [t] in wasn't and weren't but they do pronounce the [n], so stop focusing on listening for [t] and start listening for [n]. Practice saying these It wasn-me It was-me They weren-here They were-here |

| The t is emphasized in can't, and you should hear it clearly. |

| I can do it. ([aen] is lengthened) I can't do it. ([aen] is shortened, and [t] isn't always audible) |
