What is "Elision"?
Introducing. We do not use the expression " Elision " at all.
All the "Elision" rules are taught at the 3rd grade at "glottal-t, grosstal-stop".
The reason is that if you teach strictly separately, the students will be easily confused due to the detailed rules.
Today, I would like to explain the "Elision" rule to those who like to study detailed rules.
Please refer to the separate article for "glottal-t, plottal-stop".
