You guys use auxiliary verbs?
Hi,
you guys use auxiliary verbs? I don't know if you leave them out or if it is me that don't hear them. You use them in questions? You got an answer or not? You know what I mean? I'd also like an ice cream but... what flavours you have? You have vanilla? That's my favorite... you like vanilla? What else you like?
I hope you understand my question. I don't know if I don't hear them or you don't use them. If it's me who doesn't hear them, then I have to say I miss auxiliary verbs very often.
Thanks

I think it's fair to say you can omit the "Do" when it starts a question in informal speech ("You gotta problem wit' dat?")
"What do you" or even "What are you" can b

what flavours you have?I thought you were learning American English!
(Mnemonic: British food has no flavor -- it has flavour.

If the "J" sound of d'you and the "Y" sound of you belong to the same single phoneme in your mother tongue you won't be able to detect the difference.

Thanks a lot, I think I understand.
Yes, I usually notice this at the beginning of questions, and only before "you", and maybe "your". How weird English is... oh, well, I already knew it was, LOL.
It always bother me when I can't recognize some sounds or figure out what kind of vowel is actually used, or when I notice some especially weird features. I think I'll have to post somethin
