| Aug 16 at 11:23 | comment | added | jlliagre | @FrançoisJurain Sacredceltic profile or blog doesn't suggest a professional actor but it is right that this liaison would be heard in such a context. I disagree however about its realization in everyday life. After listening to dozens and dozens of YouTube samples, I was unable to find a single example of liaison after je peux or je veux. | |
