Intonation refers to the rise and fall of pitch in speech, essential for conveying emotions and intentions. There are two primary patterns: rising intonation signals questions and seeking confirmation, while falling intonation indicates statements. Examples of each pattern are provided along with dialogues illustrating their use in communication.

1. Rising and Falling
Intonation

2. Introduction to Intonation
* Intonation is the rise and fall of the pitch
of your voice when you speak.
* Intonation is the way we speak or the tone
we use when we talk.
* Intonation is essential because it helps us
to express our emotions, attitudes, and
intentions when communicating with others.

3. Introduction to Intonation
* Intonation is about how we say things,
rather than what we say.
• It is how we use pitch, volume, and rhythm
to convey meaning.
* Intonation can change the meaning of what
you say, and it can also show how you feel
about what you are saying.

4. The Two Main Intonation Patterns
Rising Intonation:
It occurs when our pitch goes up at the end
of a sentence, indicating that we are asking a
question or seeking confirmation.
Falling Intonation:
It occurs when our pitch goes down at the
end of a sentence, indicating that we are
making a statement.

5. The Rules of Both Types of
Intonation
-Rising Intonation
Use rising intonation when you
want to ask a question.
The pitch should go up at the end
of a sentence.
Use rising intonation for questions
that begin with "wh" words (who,
what, where, when, why, and
how).

6. -Falling Intonation
Use falling intonation when you want to make a
statement.
The pitch should go down at the end of a sentence.
Use falling intonation for statements that are not
questions.
