I’d like to know more on how to place pauses in a sentence while speaking.

I don’t think that rules for pauses are important. Like stress patterns, pauses simply reflect the way an individual speaks. Worrying about where to place pauses will likely cause you to lose fluency. Instead of thinking about the words, you will be worried about where to pause, when, in fact, it’s not important.


Best,
