Reading sense / thought groups

When we speak, we don't talk in single words but in groups of words spoken
continuously. When we read quietly, the same thing happens in our mind. These
groups of words, which are closely connected in meaning and in grammar, are
called sense or thought groups. A sense group is a tone-group in intonation. A
long sentence can be cut up into two or more tone-groups. We may make a
short pause after each group, but not during the group. Such pauses help
to make reading or speaking easier
the reasons for reading and especially
speaking in sense or thought groups are:

Robot or human ............you choose

Reading sense groups or thought groups in a sentence are usually divided by
grammar but
may also depend on the idea one is trying to convey and even breathing patterns.
