How to break sentence into chunks (during reading of sentence)?

Question

I have confusion that how to divide sentence into chunks so that I can use slight pause between each chunk while reading?For example: The capacity of methodical exercise (short pause) to lower spending on medications (short pause) is unquestionable.Take diabetes victims as an illustration: The more time they spend on outdoor actions,(short pause) the less amount they pay out (short pause)on medications and other treatments.Please see above example in which "short pause" is used where new chunk began within the sentence.I know that there should be "short pause" and "long pause" when there is comma and full stop respectively. But don't know how to divide sentence into chunks so that "short pause" I use.

Answer 1

I think if you learn the comma rules, it will help you determine when there is an appropriate pause that requires punctuation. Commas can be used after Introductory words or phrases at the beginning of a sentence, like "In the beginning of the story, (pause)" We don't usually separate subjects and verbs unless we have an appositive that follows a noun - then we would use commas before and after the appositive. Example: "My English teacher, who has been teaching for years, is excellent." So, if you have a phrase (not a complete sentence) at the beginning of a sentence, that usually creates a pause and a need for a comma.

Answer 2

The simple answer is at the end of a stressed word.

Another good guideline is to pause at the end of a prepositional phrase. Do not pause after a preposition.
