Con frecuencia los nativos no saben si decimos “I can do it” o “I can’t do it”. Esto se debe a que solemos decir “I can do it” de la misma forma que si dijeramos “Yes, I can”. Pero CAN se pronuncia de forma distinta en estas dos frases.
¿Cúal es la diferencia?
Entonación: Los nativos enfatizan CAN al decir “Yes, I can” y “I can’t do it”, pero no suelen enfatizar CAN al decir “I can do it”.
Pronunciación:
cuando se enfatiza CAN se pronuncia con la vocal /æ/,
pero cuando NO se enfatiza CAN se pronuncia con la vocal /ə/
