Strong and weak forms. The weak forms are generally used. The forms are always strong at the end of phrases, except if it is a pronoun.
I found some > aɪv faʊnd sʌm
I found some coins > aɪv faʊnd səm koɪnz
There are exceptions:
the > ðə before a consonant sound (the boy, the house) and ði before a vowel sound (the egg, the hour)
to > tə before a consonant sound and tu before a vowel sound
is > ɪz after a word ending in s, z, ʃ, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ. The contracted form s is used after a word ending in p, t, k, f, θ while z is used after one ending in a vowel sound or b, d, g, v, ð, m, n, ŋ, l and AmE r
Do not include a carriage return or a full stop in the middle of a sentence. They are considered the beginning of a new sentence.
Note: Weak and strong forms are determined by stress, intonation and phonetic context, therefore it is difficult to establish an automated rule that works for all cases.
