Pronoun reduction:
he -> ‘e
him -> ‘im
his -> ‘is
her -> ‘er
hers -> ‘ers
them -> ‘em
As usual, we only reduce the pronunciation like this when the words are not stressed. If they come after a pause, or if they have stress, we pronounce the full word.
Did you invite her/him/them to your party?
- If this is a normal question and I’m just asking out of curiosity, the first sound is dropped.
- If I’m surprised that you invited her/him/them, I pronounce the word fully and with stress.
John likes sugar, but he doesn’t like chocolate. - “he” is unstressed, so it’s pronounced ‘e
She likes chocolate, but he hates it. - “he” is stressed (contrastive stress), so it’s pronounced completely

p. 94 part A - write the pronunciation for each pronoun in the paragraph. (Some will be reduced, some won’t be.)

Betty bought a bit of butter,
But her butter made her batter bitter.
	(The ‘h’s in “her” are dropped because these words are not stressed.)
butter face - “She has a great body, but her face…”
