To understand English well, you also need to notice the linking, stress, intonation, and pauses.
连读 (Linking)
1 We usually link a consonant sound with a vowel sound.
2 When the first word ends in -r or -re and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we can join them together with a /r/ sound between them.
3 When two consonant sounds of two words meet, we sometimes do not need to pronounce the first consonant sound.
4 When the first word ends with a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we can join them as if there were a /j/ or /w/ sound between them.
在英语句子中，实词（如名词、动词、形容词、副词等）承载重要信息，一般需要重读；而充当语法功能的虚词（如冠词、连词、介词、助动词等）一般弱读。但这条读音规律并非一成不变，句子中的重音可以随着说话者要表达的意思的变化而变化。
句子重音 (Sentence Stress)
语调 (Intonation)
英语有两种最基本的语调，即降调和升调。降调的基本意义是“肯定”和“完结”，通常用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、选择疑问句的后半部分、祈使句和感叹句等。升调的基本意义是“不确定”和“未完结”，可表示犹豫、怀疑、婉转、含蓄、试探等含义。升调通常用于一般疑问句、陈述句表示疑问的各类句子，以及表示意思未完的各种情况。升调可以用于说话者不能确定信息是否准确，需要对方核实的情况。
停顿 (Pauses)
一些长的句子需要按照意思的群落（即"意群"）适当断开、稍加停顿，断开的几部分都具有相对完整的意思。按照一般语法结构，可划分为以下意群单位：
(1) 短句 (2) 名词短语
(3) 介词/不定式/分词短语 (4) 动词短语
(5) 主谓结构 (6) 动宾结构
(7) 系表结构 (8) 动状结构
(9) 主句-从句。
人们通常会在意群之间做短暂的“停顿”，用“ ”来划分。
