Are "ed" or " 'd" often not pronounced and understood via context?
When they're not a syllable on their own and are followed by another word that doesn't allow you to add the d to the start of it. Ex: impressed with, accessed by, jumped so high... "Sometimes" I can feel myself trying to tap my upper mouth, but I don't think anything is pronounced by that. If I want to deliberately pronounce the "ed" or the " 'd", there would be a long pause before the next word is spoken Here's me quoting GSP "I'm not impressed with your performance" without worrying about the ed. I don't think I tapped with my tongue here at all. Do I sound right? https://jmp.sh/s/mtCB8gUvRSKIlmSxKAdI As for accessed by and jumped so high (weird examples lol), I can feel my tongue trying to tap, but I don't think I'm pronouncing it?

I have questions for native english speakers
I’ve often heard black people vocalization is distinct which makes them different from other races. Does this applies to other races too? Like, can you spot who’s asian or who’s hispanic just by their vocalization EVEN they are fluent in english?
Why "Toy Story" and not "Toy's Story"?
That's just an example. But I was wondering why sometimes the possessive " 's " is used and it sometimes just isn't there. In this particular case the story belongs to the toys, so it should be "Toy's...", right? PS: I know that the second word starts with an S and that makes it phonetically redundant, the same with singular or plural nouns ending in S just using an apostrophe...but it still confuses me. Thanks!
Why is the possessive needed for “pounds” but not for “$500”? Thanks.

i see no difference between will and going to with "be a doctor"
i will be a doctor i am going to be a doctor some exercises are asking me to distinguish between the two futures and i am having trouble with cases involving the verb *be*, i think it's because anything involving with the verb *be* overlaps way too much between plans and predictions, please help me out is there really a distinction? is it the feeling? if i say one over the other would that out me to other speakers?

Does “over” mean “away” here? Can we say “…three towns away.”?
