SHOW NOTES:

To

The preposition to usually reduces so much that it's like dropping the vowel. Use a t' or tə
sound to replace to.

LOOKS LIKE

today

tonight

tomorrow

to work

to school
to the store
We have to go now.

He went to work

They hope to find it.

I can't wait to find out.

We don't know what to do.

Don't jump to conclusions.

To be or not to be...

He didn't get to go.
