1) Connected speech is a continuous stream of sounds without clear boundaries between words. Certain words and phonemes are lost or linked together. 2) Native speakers can predict likely words based on context and fill in gaps, while non-native speakers rely more on sounds and suffer when phonetic information is diminished. 3) Weak forms are reduced vowels like schwa that occur in unstressed function words like articles and prepositions. They are pronounced quicker and softer than stressed syllables.
