Intonation ( Language Melody) � Intonation describes how the voice rises and falls in speech. The three main patterns of intonation in English are: falling intonation, rising intonation.

Falling Intonation Falling intonation describes how the voice falls on the final stressed syllable of a phrase or a group of words. A falling intonation is very common in wh-questions. � Where’s the nearest post-office? � What time does the film finish? We also use falling intonation when we say something definite, or when we want to be very clear about something: �I think we are completely lost. � OK, here’s the magazine you wanted

Rising Intonation Rising intonation describes how the voice rises at the end of a sentence. Rising intonation is common in yes-no questions: � Is he the new doctor? � Are you thirsty? We also use falling intonation for exclamations: � How fantastic! � It’s amazing!
