I was wondering when you'd do that

Hi

Please tell me if a native speaker says this sentence in casual speech, could the underlined part sound like you and not you'd?

I was wondering when you'd do that.

(when you do that.)

Thanks,

Tom

Many thanks, Philip. But I think you confused my question. (or maybe my question is not very-well phrased!)

Here in Pakistan and India, I know many people who when they say you'd, it sounds like you.

Please shed some light on this.

PS: Is my use of who when correct? If not, please correct it.

No. A native speaker would produce a double d. The first d, at the end of you'd, is unreleased, stopped, or unexploded, however you wish to describe it -- unfinished, in any ca

It's OK in informal conversation.
