Fast Casual Contractions in English

Native English speakers often shorten words to speak faster and more naturally. These fast casual contractions help you sound more fluent in informal conversations.

Here are some common examples:
• Instead of “I don’t know,” say “Dunno.”
• Instead of “I should have,” say “Shoulda.”
• Instead of “I would have,” say “Woulda.”
• Instead of “I could have,” say “Coulda.”
• Instead of “I might have,” say “Mighta.”
• Instead of “You should have,” say “Ya shoulda.”
• Instead of “I don’t care,” say “Dun care.”

These contractions are common in spoken English but are rarely used in writing. They make speech smoother and more natural, especially in casual settings.

Practice using these contractions when speaking with friends or watching English videos. The more you use them, the more natural they will feel!
