Why do we use different prepositions in “no point in” and “no reason to”? @StoneyB Thank you for your edited answer but the most thing I am concerning is that why to is used as a different role in those 2 sentences ? Can we say "There's no point to do that" or "There's no reason to doing that". Or the answer really is just like what Bill Franke said, that's the habit of native speakers ? |

How do native speakers guess the pronunciation of a word that they've never seen before? @RainDoctor, thanks, I am googling for "Loan word phonology" ... |

How do native speakers guess the pronunciation of a word that they've never seen before? +1 Thanks, seem helpful to me. Btw, as I said, I am not only looking for the rule of stressing. |

How do native speakers guess the pronunciation of a word that they've never seen before? Hi all, in short, my question is : "Is there a way to guess the pronunciation of a word correctly (or nearly correct) when we don't know it's phonetic code ?" |

Are there rules of pronunciation for words in English? @simchona, sorry for my English. For instance, the word read you must know it's sound is /ri:d/ in order to pronounce correctly. So is that in English, do we indeed have to know the sound of the word in order to pronounce it right ? Can't we just look at read and pronounce it with some rules ? |
