Exercise 1-39: Consistent Pronoun Stress In Changing Verb Tenses CD 2 Track 8 录音下载
This is the same as the previous exercise, except you now stress the verbs: They eat them. Practice this until you are quite comfortable with the intonation. Notice that in fluent speech, the th of them is frequently dropped (as is the h in the other object pronouns, him, her). The pronunciation and word connections are on the right, and the tense name is on the far left.
