How do you link "o" and "s" in cursive font?

Question

I'm learning English cursive font recently. And I'm confused about how I can link the "o" and "s" together in words such as "those", "goes", and so on. Because the end of "o" is much higher than that of "s". By the way, I use the attachment as the model.

here's a youtube video with a slow explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npIJI2hfyx0 — hunter, Aug 24 '16 at 17:02
"Font" is not really a word you can apply to characters created by handwriting. A font is a set of characters for printed type. Cursive is a handwriting style. — nohat, Aug 24 '16 at 22:09
We can refer to a handwriting style or system as a script. — TimR, Aug 25 '16 at 12:32

See image. Used the word lost to illustrate with a real word.

OK. Let's it see for capital O too. – EllieK Aug 24 '16 at 17:03

Capital O wouldn't link to the next letter. The loop would just hang. – LawrenceC Aug 24 '16 at 17:03
Same is true for D, P, W too. They just stand alone. – LawrenceC Aug 24 '16 at 17:06

The OP's chart is only one version of "cursive writing." Many of the letter forms are different form the ones I learned in school in the UK - and in the version I learned, upper case letters were never linked to the following lower case letters. – alephzero Aug 24 '16 at 21:45
Yeah, I learned a cursive Q as kind of a fancy "2". – CCTO Nov 06 '18 at 16:33
