The link below does a good job explaining it. It's worth noting that native speakers (Myself included) often get these wrong. You should pay as much as attention to the context as you do the grammar, simply because the grammar isn't always correct.

@Freddie777 No worries. English was the subject I despised in school. Even at that age I could see the system was illogical and contradictory. I can only imagine how frustrating it can be to learn as a second language. As you likely already know, reading English doesn't really help you speak it. Many words are said differently than they're spelling. The phonetic spellings used by most dictionaries are a separate alphabet entirely from the English alphabet. It's called IPA and it has a character/letter for every sound used in English. It is an absolutely invaluable tool for learning to speak. Of course being a separate alphabet means you have to learn it. The link is a sound and character reference for IPA. It only includes sounds common to all accents. You won't find sounds specific to US or UK English. My recommendation is to use it as a reference and learn it a little bit at a time. Trying to study it in depth just made my brain hurt 😂

@Blink01 Hahahaha I've seen this alphabetical system english and that's drive me so crazy but I'm never knew name of it. In fact when I'm studied Translation English-Spanish and I used (I'm still use it) an well-known app It's call wordreference a good one I guess, because I can take a look in the Usa and British pronuncations as well. Sometime I feel go crazy with some pronuncitations that doesn't come up in dictionaries like: Interview, interception (innerviews, innerception t sound mute), as well as the passive voice. It's burn me out like hell hahahahaha

@Freddie777 Ok, those missing T's are more common to US English, I don't know for sure that the UK doesn't use them. They are called a stop T. They are essentially a glottal stop. They have their own name because it occurs so often with T. Since I learned about them, I've come to realize that my accent uses them heavily. The other T you will hear in US English is the flap T. This is a T that sounds like a D. The UK doesn't do this. If you look at the US phonetic spelling for "better" it will have a V shaped Symbol below the T. That tells you when the flap T is used. Two T's in the middle of a word is almost always a flap T. You need to look at the dictionary for individual T's.
