Hello!
Teachers, do you agree that, when we say stop consonants are, often, unreleased at the end of words, we are saying if a consonant follows?
For example: They bought her dress. Their friend came.
In other words, do you agree that, if a vowel follows and you do not drop the consonant, there will be, necessarily, a release?
For example: The grand opening is tomorrow (you aren´t saying "gran" opening, so there is no way but to release the "d").
She went away.
Help?
Thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
