Ok, Today we are going to
talk about intonation
It is important to consider
this issue at the moment of
speaking.
Intonation is directly related
with the intention of your
speech.

Statement: A definite or clear
expression of something in
speech or writing. Statements
are made using a falling tone.
Yes/no questions: It is a
question whose expected

"no". Formally, they present

only one is acceptable. This
type of questions is asked
using a rising tone. Yes/No
questions begin with does,
did, are and can.
WH-questions:

intonations used to ask wh- an interrogative word (what,

when, where, why, or how)
and that expects an answer
other than "yes" or "no."
This kind of questions is
asked with a falling tone.
T asks students to give
examples of wh-questions
As I said before, intonation is
directly connected with the
intention of the speech.
For example when we ask
wh-questions we use a falling
intonation, because we dont
know the answer and we are
trying to find it out.
For example
What is your name?
Can you give an example of a
wh-question using the correct

examples of yes or no questions

Now, if we are asking yes or

no questions we need to use a
rising intonation
Does he come to class today?
Now, can you give another
example?
PRODUCTION

The last, but not least are the

statements. Statements are
always in a falling tone.
For example
Today is a wonderful day
Try to give another example
of statements using the
correct intonation.

Now we are going to play a

game, I will give you a

have to tick if is right or
make a cross if it is wrong.
Then indicate if the sentence

or a yes/no question.
So, you will have to speak out
loud and the other student

to the sentence given.
