Question How to stop Chew/eat words in a sentence?

Hi

I have been told that I either chew words or eat them at the end of the sentence. Can anyone suggest how to get over this?

Thanks
Kanth

MY guess:
The end of the sentence is either not pronounced or pronounced, but inaudibly or indistinctly.

oh great..... i do this sometimes too..... maybe it happens when you dont pronounce them correctly or your voice is not clear..... or when you are thinking something else, you just dont say them properly, mixing them with any other word..... hehe, just try to concentrate on your words an d sentence and and speak clealry, im sure you wont eat them any more!!!!!!!

I would try moving your mouth to form the sounds of the words in a more deliberate way. Maybe this will help you completely follow through with a phrase or a sentence without rendering the final sound or last words unintelligible or inaudible.
