Comprehension understanding what we hear and read producing and understanding language is a process of stages where we create sound , words, forms phases , clauses and sentences, so that comprehension seems to be nothing more that the recognition of a sequential string of linguistic symbols , this stages are partially develop in the human , now we are going to describe this fours stages one by one in order to understand an give example about the way and use of each one , we know that many people sometime have problems in the moment to understand or comprehend a second language , firstly we have the comprehension of sounds that is when people understand or identify the phonemes of the words American people does not have problem in the moment to distinguish the similar sound of the words because they born and develop this ability early, in general the comprehension of sound is understanding the context of the words,  the length of the time  , the pronunciation , the rhythm, and melody , the brief burst of air which precedes the articulation is called VOT that is when people make distinction between voiced and voiceless , for example;  the different between Penny and Benny depends on an ability to perceive a voicing delay of one twentieth of second. The process of comprehension of sound is innate and merger of both nature and nurture. Second we have the next stages that is comprehension of words, this process is more complex some psycholinguistic use a model of cognition that attempts to comprehend behavior such as processing and production and speech. So that mean the logogen model of comprehension for example; when we hear a word in a conversation we do not create a print about the word because we just listen to , there are different models of comprehension of words like ; spelling such as homophones that are spelling different but pronounce alike, another is pronunciation ( homographs)  where the words are spelling alike but pronounce different and comprehension can be associated or linked via PDP , so the TOT is when  people know that they know but they cannot recall the word but the can recognized the word when this is presented , in some case people forget the word but remember fragment , the first letter or syllable of this word , that is a common but the important point here is we can not remember the word but we can make use of the term or context this word is not so loss in our brain because when we hear or see the word we can recognize. Now we have the comprehension of sentences this process involve the semantics of the sentences their structure and  their grammar, that is called skeleton or phrase structure, the transformation of  a sentence could be a difficult in the moment to comprehend sentences people understand sentences and remember sentences in the simple way , they do not remember structure and grammar they just remember the mean idea, that is called DTC, finally comprehension of texts where people does not recall complete text they usually remember and understand the basic content but not typically the grammar of the sentence that mean the process to comprehend the text consist in code the information in our brain and try to remember the message.
