When award ends in a consonant sound and the next word begins with the same or a very similar sound, we often link the words together and only make the consonant sound once. This happens when a verb ends in /t/ or /d/, so want to is pronounced /'wɒntə/ and decided to is pronounced /dɪ'saɪdɪ
tə/.
In these cases the word "to" is not stressed and therefore it is pronounced with a schwa /tə/
