Hi Bob the Canadian here.
loading
There will be times when you are having an English conversation where someone will ask
loading
you a question and you will not have the answer.
loading
And in that situation you will need to say, "I do not know."
loading
They might ask a question like:
loading
"Why is the sky blue?"
loading
"I do not know."
loading
"Why did your cat run away?"
loading
"I do not know."
loading
"Why did you eat the last cookie?"
loading
"I do not know."
loading
Now that is the slow, clear, and well pronounced version of that answer.
loading
There are two faster versions and the first is proper English and it is contracting the
loading
words "do" and "not" into "don't".
loading
So you'll have an answer like, "I don't know."
loading
"Why did you get a speeding ticket?"
loading
"I don't know."
loading
"Why did you eat the last cookie?"
loading
"I don't know."
loading
And the next version which is even faster is not really proper written English, but
loading
you will hear it quite often in English conversation.
loading
It looks like this and sounds like this, "I dunno."”
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why did you lose your wallet?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why did you eat the last cookie?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why didn't you buy tickets to the baseball game?"”
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why did you get a speeding ticket?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
Well that's the response, "I don't know."
loading
"I don't know."
loading
"I dunno."
loading

"Why did you run so fast?"

"I dunno."
loading
"Why did you eat that stick?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why'd you let the dog out?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why'd you eat all the cookies?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why'd you get a speeding ticket?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why'd you jump outta that tree?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why'd you steal my candies?"
loading
"I dunno."
loading
"Why'd you….
loading
Why didn't you do you homework?"
loading
"I dunno."
