In the sentences provided, we need to identify the weak forms of 'has' or 'have'. In English, weak forms occur when certain words are pronounced in an unstressed way, often using contractions. Here's how the weak forms of 'has' or 'have' appear in each sentence:
I haven't completed my work.
The weak form is ' haven't ', which is a contraction of 'have not'.
They have not gone to the bed.
In this sentence, 'have' is in its full form and is not in a weak form or contraction.
Father has not eaten an apple.
Similarly, 'has' is in its full form here and is not in a weak form or contraction.
Ali hasn't bought a new pencil.
The weak form is ' hasn't ', which is a contraction of 'has not'.
You haven't attended the wedding.
The weak form is ' haven't ', which is a contraction of 'have not'.
