1.       The words that we usually do not stress in a sentence are called function words. Function words are pronouns, articles, prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliary (helping) verbs, and the verb be.(我們在句子中通常不會強調讀的字稱為虛詞。虛詞是指代名詞、冠詞、介詞、連接詞、助動詞、和 be 動詞。)

What do you want for dinner? (do, you, for)

2.       We usually reduce the vowels in function words. Sometimes the vowel disappears completely.(我們通常會輕讀虛詞的母音。有時母音會完全消失。)
