a great interview

international airport

He lives in Toronto.

Разницу между I can и I can't можно показать интонацией:

You can do that. (ударение на do)

You can't do that. (ударение на can't)

В 'didn't I' и 'hasn't he' стоит звук [ə] после [d] и [z] соответственно. Поэтому правило сохраняется:

Didn't I tell you?

Did they enter the building?

They don't even try to do it.

He has done the job. Hasn't he?

What's the point of your speech?

Не забывайте, что элизия t происходит и здесь:

Isn't she nice?

Isn't she pretty?

Элизия h

Во многих распространенных фразах при быстрой речи происходит элизия h. Подробнее об этом сказано в Модуле 10 (упр. 9).

Ex. 18. Прочтите фразы с элизией h.

Is he?

Did he?

Will he?

Would he?

Does he?

Can he?

what's her name?

what's his motive?

what's his number?

А здесь элизия t и h:

Isn't he?

Doesn't he?

Doesn't he like it?

Посколько h в слове he "стерлась", то nt, стоящая между гласными звуками дает только [n].
