What I want to stress is that he didn't have any reason to do it.
When reading the above sentence, where should I pause for a second?
(after 'is' or after 'that')
I'd appreciate your help. |

Either will work; there is no rule. You can also pause after stress, and slam your hand onto the table at that point.
