Speech & Pronunciation

grammer and "n" "l"

0I have a few question, grammatical and pronouncing ones.02br
02br
00"Everyone see" or "everyone sees", which one is correct?02br
02br
00when you say words like "help", "article", "chill", "well", "welcome", "special", "example", do you touch the roof of your mouth when pronouncing the "l"? Please give me a clear answer.02br
02br
00Also, just bringing up another question, what about "n", when you say "n" in a word, do you touch the roof of your mouth too?02br
02br
00Words such as "aunt", "answer", "thing", cuz when I say words with "ng", like "thing", I never touch the roof of my mouth, and when I say some sentences faster, like "Can I ....", "When you...", I tend not to touch the roof of my mouth when I say "can" and "when" either. Another word, "sentence" for example, I touch the roof once for the "t" in the whole word when pronounced, for the other two "n", I sort of make the "n" sound, but I don't actually touch the roof. 02br
02br
00Can native speakers please help, I am not sure if I am too fuzzy over it, or I really have been missing the accuracy all the time. I just would like to know how ppl normally pronounce them. 02br
02br
02br
00So for the N sound, do u think just make the nasal "n" sound is sufficient? or I have to touch the roof of my mouth every time when it appears in a word(except ng)?02br
02br
00cuz words like "sentence", I touch roof once for the "t" only.02br
00"pronounce", i touch roof for the first "hard" n only02br
00"plan", i touch roof slightly and off, and keep the nasal sound, but not touching it at the end.0-
