Identify and describe briefly any instances of possible ‘assimilation’, ‘elision’ and ‘liaison’ (Note: these should be at the boundary between two words, not within words).
You probably think my father was crazy trying to teach a young child to be an expert mechanic, but as a matter of fact he wasn’t crazy at all. I learned fast and I adored every moment of it. And luckily for us, nobody came knocking on the door to ask why I wasn’t attending school. So two more years went by, and at the age of seven, believe it or not, I really could take a small engine to pieces and put it together again.
