Are extrasystoles always sensed as a skipped beat?

Hi,
I wanted to know if extrasystoles are ALWAYS feeled as a Skipped beat in the normal rhythm when you take your pulse.
To be more specific, if i have extrasystole and took my pulse i wll ALWAYS find a pause in the normal rhythm?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english

Not always, it depends on when it is time.  It is actually two quick beats in a row but depending on the timing there could be a slight pause but not always.
