In different words, "con"is pronounced differently. For instance, conception is /ken/e--upsidedown, concept/ka:n/."con"is often seen.I am confused. Please help me.

What do you need help with? You just have to memorize it. I could tell you that it has to do with whether or not the syllable is stressed, but that wouldn't help since stress is not regular in English.
