I am studying the use of thought groups in English speech. While the most of it is clear to me, I am struggling with some sentences with "is". Here are some sentences I have found on various English learning websites. The slash (/) marks the beginning of a new thought group. You will notice that the first sentence recommends a pause after 'is' and the remaining sentences recommend a pause before 'is'.
How does one decide whether to pause before or after an 'is'?
1. The second benefit of studying in Australia is / the opportunity.
2. A side effect of that /is the emergence of the united states.
3. The first item on our agenda/ is to address parking.
4. Change / is inevitable.
Thanks
