Systems and methods address shortcomings in conventional systems by resuming a media asset from a logical point. In some aspects, the systems and methods receive a first input from a user to pause a media asset at a first position and determine that the first position in the media asset corresponds to a middle of a sentence. The systems and methods further determine a second position in the media asset corresponding to a start of the sentence. Thereafter, the systems and methods receive a second input from the user to resume the media asset, and resume the media asset from the second position corresponding to the start of the sentence.
