I like watching movies with English subtitles and I totally have no idea how fast some things are being said sometimes. I mean I miss some words like can, could, did. And I can swear they are not being pronounced at all.
For example the subtitle for this audio (https://voca.ro/eJyglMirQXd) was:
How much did those guys leave you?But the only thing I hear is:
How much those guys leave you?I can’t hear any "did" in that sentence. Is this common like saying "you ready?" instead of "are you ready?"
Another example. https://voca.ro/gGbBSIPFBIX
According to the subtitles she is saying:
"I don’t want our kids growing up thinking meat comes from a store wrapped in plastic."What I hear is:
want our kids growing up thinking meat comes from a store wrapped in plastic.I don’t hear any "I" or "don’t" in that sentence, that’s for sure. And this happens so many times. So how am I supposed to "fill in those blanks"?
Answer

How much d’those guys leave you?
The second has the don’t turn into just its ‘n’.
