I want to improve my English for standardized tests.

Hi @saniapanezai9939 - Thanks for your comment! What standardized test are you taking? I offer TOEFL tutoring, and I know of excellent tutors for the GRE, ACT, and SAT. I'd be happy to give you more information if you'd like it!

hey, I got a question. how do you blend the words "mask together" and "mask that" like a native speaker without sounding choppy in your speech? because I heard native speakers often dropping the k in the word 'mask' sounding more like 'mas together' instead of 'mask together and 'mas that' instead of 'mask that''. can I say 'mas together'? do i drop the k or do I not drop the k? please help me. have a wonderful day.

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi @dxt-p2n - Thanks for your question! You heard correctly - native speakers might drop that final /k/ when linking those phrases together. This is because of the Rule of Three, and I have lots of videos on my channel and website about this very thing :) Check them out for more help with this type of linking pattern! :)
