Word linking: Word linking or connected speech is how we join the words together to
speak FASTER, MORE NATURALLY and MORE FLUENTLY. If English is not
your mother tongue, you are probably not doing word linking. If you do not join the
words together when you speak, you can’t follow native speakers’ speed and THEY
can’t follow your line of thought. Native speakers (not only of English) process the
language in big chunks and could lose concentration when the sentence sounds broken or incoherent.
In order to produce a stream of English sounds, you must understand and apply 3 speech patterns as follows:
- Linking consonant to vowel (CTV)
- Linking consonant to consonant (CTC)
- Linking vowel to vowel (VTV) spacer PRACTICE
Ex 1: ▷T.1.1. Read the pronunciation tip. Then listen and repeat the questions
1. What did you do last night? 2. Did you watch the match? 3. Would you like a coffee?

picked out and are stressed in contrast to others. The one that is the most stressed is
said to receive the sentence stress. This usually implies differences in meaning. In the Page 15 Unit 2: Work

difference in meaning for each of these scenarios. Sentence Stress illustrated: Sentences Meaning
