Americans
naturally
take out the T when a common word that ends in NT is followed
by a vowel. As you can see below, this frequently occurs with
the words
can't, don't and won't.
This corresponds with the rule of making T silent if it comes after N. Review other T sound rules. Review rules of casual speech. Review the chart, then practice with this conversation.
