Hi there
I wanted to know if you have a word ending in [t], for example "stopped" and it is followed by another [t] as in
"stopped to..."
is the [t] of stopped spelled?
We have seen in phonetics and phonology that words like (musn't can't wasn't weren't aren't, etc) the [t](voiceless alveolar plosive) is not spelled when it is followed by any consonant("consonant" as sound,of course).
Is there any rule for this?
I have that the [t] in "stopped practising" is spelled,though it is followed by a consonant(as sound)!
Any help?
