This document discusses intonation patterns in English: falling intonation, rising intonation, rise-fall intonation, and fall-rise intonation. Falling intonation, where the voice falls at the end of a sentence, is used for statements, commands, WH-questions, and exclamations. Rising intonation, where the voice rises at the end, is used for yes/no questions and question tags that require an answer. Rise-fall intonation has a rising then falling pattern and is used for choices, lists, unfinished thoughts, and conditional sentences. Fall-rise intonation is used to show hesitation or reluctance in responses.
Intonation is the variation in pitch when speaking. There are two basic intonation patterns: rising and falling. Rising intonation uses a rising pitch at the end and is used for questions expecting yes/no answers, exclamations, and listing items. Falling intonation uses a rising pitch earlier in the sentence followed by a falling pitch at the end, and is used for wh- questions, commands, and statements. An example dialogue demonstrates rising intonation being used for a choice question and falling intonation being used for statements.
The document discusses rising and falling intonation in speech. Falling intonation is when the voice pitch falls at the end of a thought or statement. It is used for short sentences, questions with question words, and tag questions when the speaker is sure. Rising intonation is when the pitch rises at the end. It is used for encouraging statements, yes/no questions, tag questions when the speaker is unsure, and sentences ending with please, goodbye, or thank you. An example pair activity demonstrates rising and falling intonation in a conversation.
Intonation is analysed in terms of variations in pitch. According to the intensity of the vibration of the vocal cords, the pitch will be higher, lower or stable. If it remains higher in level, it is high level pitch [']. If it remains lower in level, it is low level pitch [']. The weak or unstressed syllables are left without any mark.
This document discusses how to use reported speech when recounting what another person has said. It notes that reported speech does not use quotation marks or the exact words, and verb tenses, pronouns, time and place words may change. It provides examples of how present, past, future and conditional verbs change between direct and reported speech, as well as how pronouns, places and times are altered for reported versus direct speech. The purpose is to accurately recount what someone said or thought without using their exact words.
The document discusses linguistic stress patterns in English words. It provides examples of words with different stress patterns and asks the reader to identify which word has a different stress pattern in each example. It also asks questions about what stress is, how to identify stressed syllables, and the maximum number of stress levels that have been identified in English. The document notes that understanding stress patterns is important for pronunciation. It provides definitions of linguistic stress and examples of varying stress patterns within words.
This document discusses the uses of auxiliary verbs in English. It explains that auxiliary verbs help form tenses, voice, and mood. They are also used to make negative sentences and questions. There are two groups of auxiliary verbs: primary auxiliaries like BE, HAVE, and DO, and modal auxiliaries like CAN, COULD, WILL, SHOULD, MUST, and MAY. Various uses of auxiliary verbs are described, such as forming short answers, avoiding repetition, showing agreement or disagreement, and adding emphasis. Sample conversations demonstrate how auxiliary verbs are used in questions, question tags, requests, suggestions, and checking facts about others.
This document summarizes different verb patterns in English. It discusses verbs that can be followed by "-ing" or "to + infinitive" and explains the differences between the two patterns. Some key points include:
- Verbs like admit, avoid, enjoy, and recommend are followed by "-ing" when another verb follows.
- Verbs like agree, appear, decide, expect, and want are followed by "to + infinitive."
- For verbs like advise, ask, invite, and tell, the object comes before "to + infinitive."
- Verbs like begin, continue, intend and start can be used with "-ing" or "to + infinitive" without a

In closing, it invites any questions about to infinitives.
This document provides an overview of how to use the verb gustar in Spanish. It explains that gustar is used differently than in English and takes an indirect object pronoun before the verb to indicate who is pleased. It discusses the forms of gusta/n and gives examples of using gustar with different indirect object pronouns and clarifying prepositional pronouns. It also covers placement of these elements in statements and questions and provides additional examples of using gustar.
This document discusses question tags, including their definition, formula, rules, examples, and exceptions. Question tags are short questions added to the end of statements. They are used to check information, seek agreement, or request something. The formula depends on if it is adding a tag to a statement or removing the tag. There are also specific rules for tags with pronouns, verbs, auxiliaries, imperatives, and exceptions for sentences with words like never or everybody. The document provides sample questions and answers to demonstrate question tags.
This document discusses how to change direct speech into reported speech by modifying verb tenses and time/place expressions. It covers reported statements, questions, orders, requests and examples of each. When changing the reporting verb to the past tense, verb tenses in the reported speech are typically changed accordingly, such as present to past. Pronouns, time and place references may also need to be altered depending on when the reported speech is being reported.
The document discusses the past simple tense in English. It covers two types of verbs in the past simple: (1) the exceptional verb "to be" and (2) regular verbs. For type 1 verbs, the affirmative and negative forms of "to be" are provided for singular and plural subjects. For type 2 verbs, the affirmative uses the verb with "-ed" or "-d" and the negative uses "did not" or "didn't" plus the verb. Interrogative forms are also discussed for both types of verbs. Rules for forming the past simple of each verb type are provided.
Gerunds and infinitives are verb forms that can fulfill different functions in a sentence beyond being a simple verb. Infinitives are usually structured as "to + base verb form" and can be used as subjects, objects after verbs, in verb+object+infinitive structures, after adjectives and nouns. Gerunds have the form of the verb + "-ing" and can be used as nouns, objects, or complements. They can appear after verbs, prepositions, and "to + -ing" structures. The document provides examples of different uses of gerunds and infinitives in sentences.
This document provides information about question tags in English. It defines question tags as short questions added to the end of statements to make them yes/no questions. It discusses the structure of statements followed by question tags and provides examples of positive and negative statements paired with positive and negative question tags.

Auxiliary and modal verbs help form tenses, voices, and moods. There are primary auxiliaries like be, have, and do as well as modal auxiliaries like shall, should, will, would, may, might, can, could, must, ought to, used to, need and dare. Auxiliary verbs are used in short answers, to avoid repetition, with so and neither, in "echo" questions, to show emphasis, and in question tags. Question tags are formed with an auxiliary verb and pronoun and are used to check something believed to be true or to ask for agreement.
This document discusses infinitives and their uses in sentences. It notes that infinitives can function as subjects and objects, unlike gerunds which cannot be used as objects of prepositions. Common verbs that are followed by infinitives are discussed, including mental verbs like hope, plan, intend. Infinitives can express purpose, especially when using "to" or "in order to". Adjectives can also precede infinitives. Infinitives can be used with too and enough in sentences.
A noun clause is a group of words that functions as a noun and typically includes a subject and verb. Noun clauses can be used as subjects, subject complements, objects, or objects of prepositions. They often follow verbs and adjectives that express mental activities or opinions and can be used to include questions in statements or report what someone said or asked. There are three types of noun clauses: those introduced by "that", those with wh- words, and those with "if/whether".
This document discusses the three types of sentences: declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory. It provides examples of each. Declarative sentences make statements and end with a period. Interrogative sentences ask questions and end with a question mark. Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion and end with an exclamation point. The document ensures the reader can identify each sentence type by its end punctuation and provides practice examples.
1. The document discusses the rules for using auxiliary verbs and modal verbs in English sentences. It covers six common uses: to support main verbs, avoid repeating verbs, show emphasis, make reply questions, show similarities and differences between subjects, and form question tags.
2. Examples are provided for each of the six rules to illustrate how auxiliary verbs are used in various contexts like questions, negatives, replies, comparisons, and contradictions.
3. Readers are encouraged to practice the rules through communication activities with partners to check understandings and get more practice forming sentences using auxiliary verbs.
This document discusses verbs and subjects in English grammar. It defines a subject as the noun or pronoun that performs the verb and provides examples. It also defines a verb as a word that shows action or state of being and gives examples. Additionally, it notes that a subject will come before a phrase beginning with "of" and that if a verb follows "to", it is an infinitive phrase and not the main verb, with the main verb coming before or after.
This document discusses the differences between talk, speak, say, and tell. It notes that tell needs a subject, while said can be used without a subject as long as a complete sentence follows. Speak and talk are usually used interchangeably, while speak, say, and tell can have different constructions. The document also examines the different ways these words are used in phrases and imperatives.
Tag questions are short questions added to the end of statements to confirm information or encourage a response. They are mainly used in speech. A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag, while a negative statement uses a positive question tag. Question tags are formed using the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject. The question tag takes the opposite polarity if the statement contains a negative word like "few" or "rarely".
Intonation refers to the rise and fall of pitch in speech and helps convey meaning. It has grammatical, accentual, discourse, attitudinal, and sociolinguistic functions. Intonation patterns include falling intonation, used for statements and questions, and rising intonation, used for open questions. Teaching intonation is important for clear communication and avoiding misunderstandings. Students should practice intonation through listening, repeating, and imitating native speakers.

This document discusses English intonation patterns. It begins by explaining that every language has its own intonation or speech melody, and intonation helps identify the language being spoken. It then defines English intonation as a complex phenomenon with regional variations. The main types of English intonation are falling intonation and rising intonation, which are used in different sentence types. The document provides examples and explanations of how falling and rising intonation are used in statements, questions, commands and other structures. It emphasizes the importance of studying intonation patterns for improving pronunciation and reducing accent.
The document discusses various aspects of proverbs and folk literature in the Philippines. It states that early Filipino proverbs served as guides for upright living and reflected Philippine culture and identity. It also notes that proverbs can instruct and prescribe simultaneously, and that their meanings can be understood quickly. The document then provides true/false questions to test understanding of these points.
The document discusses intonation in language and defines key terms like tone, tone unit, tonic syllable, head, pre-head and tail. It explains that intonation refers to the rise and fall of pitch in speech. Tone is carried by the tonic syllable, while intonation is carried by the tone unit. The document also analyzes different types of tones like falling, rising, fall-rise and rise-fall tones and how they are used in language. Finally, it concludes that while a complete set of rules on intonation cannot be determined, learning about these concepts can still improve language use.

The document discusses intonation in language and its importance for communication. It defines key terms like tone, pitch, tone languages, stress. Tone units have components like the tonic syllable, head, pre-head and tail. English is not a tonal language but uses intonation patterns like falling, rising, falling-rising tones to convey meanings and attitudes. Analyzing intonation patterns is important for learning a new language though rules alone cannot replace learning from native speakers.

Analyzing intonation patterns is important for learning a new language though rules alone cannot replace learning from native speakers.
1) The document provides definitions and descriptions of four basic English intonation tunes: the falling tune (glide down), the first rising tune (glide up), the second rising tune (take off), and the falling-rising tune (dive).
2) Each tune is defined by the shape and movement of pitch over the course of a tone group. Symbols are used to mark stressed syllables and pitch changes.
3) Examples illustrate how each tune is produced based on the number of important words and whether the stressed syllable of the final word is also the last syllable.
Intonation refers to variations in pitch when speaking and helps convey meaning. It has several key components including pitch, sentence stress, and rhythm. Intonation patterns differ between languages like English and Ukrainian. In English, falling intonation is most common and used for statements while rising intonation expresses questions, lists, and lack of certainty. Ukrainian uses rising and falling intonation differently, with pitch changes occurring on accented syllables. Speakers must be careful not to transfer intonation patterns from their native language when speaking English.
The document discusses various prosodic features of speech including intonation, pitch, stress, juncture, and volume. Intonation refers to variation in spoken pitch and is used to express emotion and emphasis. Pitch can be high, middle, low, or very high. Stress patterns include primary, secondary, and minimal stress. Juncture refers to how sounds are connected between syllables. Volume refers to loudness and is used to show emotions. The document provides examples of how these prosodic features are used in speech.
Intonation serves several important linguistic functions in spoken language. It helps convey meaning through attitudes, marks a speaker's identity, determines stress patterns, clarifies grammar and syntax, and aids in segmenting information for listeners. Intonation allows speakers to express attitudes, regional identities, and indicates new information through stress. It also helps distinguish statements from questions and different types of sentences.

The pupils of class VII conducted an English Language Workshop, regarding the four basic skills in English. They carried out a research work on their particular skill and integrated it with ICT through making useful, meaningful and interesting presentation on PowerPoint slides.
The document discusses intonation in language and provides the following key points:
1. Intonation refers to the pitch patterns used in speech and is important for proper communication and understanding. The study of intonation has evolved over time.
2. Languages can be categorized as toned languages, where pitch patterns distinguish words/morphemes, or non-toned like English, where pitch adds meaning but does not change the word.
3. A tone unit is the basic unit of intonation analysis, usually composed of more than one syllable, with components like the tonic syllable, head, pre-head and tail.
4. Common tones in English include fall, rise
This document discusses various linguistic concepts related to discourse analysis and phonology, including:
1) How pronunciation of words can change in discourse, such as replacing /d/ with /b/ in "good morning" due to the influence of surrounding sounds.
2) How rhythm and stress patterns vary depending on discourse context and the speaker's intentions.
3) The difference between word stress and prominence assigned by the speaker, and factors that determine which words receive prominence.
4) How intonation is used to separate units of speech, indicate new information, and convey attitudes and meanings between speakers.
This document discusses intonation in English. It begins by defining intonation as the pitch patterns used when speaking. It then discusses the differences between tone languages like Chinese and Vietnamese versus non-tone languages like English. The rest of the document covers tone units, the structure of tone units including the tonic syllable, head, pre-head and tail. It also discusses the different forms of intonation such as fall, rise-fall, fall-rise, rise and level. Finally, it examines the common uses of these tones with different types of sentences and questions.
The document discusses proper pronunciation and intonation for effective speaking. It emphasizes that pronunciation involves correctly stressing syllables and words through elements like loudness, pitch, and duration. The document then provides lists of words to practice accenting the first, second, or third syllables sharply. It explains that intonation, the rise and fall of the voice, is also important and defines the two most common types: rising-falling for declarative sentences and questions, and rising for questions answered with yes/no. Examples are given to practice each intonation pattern. Effective speaking requires mastering both pronunciation and intonation.
The document discusses English word stress and sentence stress. It explains that English is a stress-timed language where certain syllables within words and certain words within sentences are pronounced with more force. It provides examples of word stress patterns in different types of words. It also discusses how sentence stress gives English its rhythm by emphasizing content words over structure words. The document advises learning the stress patterns of new words from dictionaries or by listening to native English speakers.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

(The pitch of the voice falls at the end of the sentence.)
Falling intonation is the most common intonation pattern in
English.
It is commonly found in statements, commands, wh-questions
(information questions),
confirmatory question tags and exclamations.

7. Ascending intonation (Rising Falling).
Describes when our pitch rises from the stressed syllable of the
last content word of the sentence and continues to climb.
Depending on the context and the emotion or attitude youโre
trying to convey with your tone, rising intonation may start
earlier in the sentence and then climb all the way to the end.

9. Rhythm
Rhythm is about how we use a combination
of stressed and
unstressed words in sentences. Sentences
have strong beats (the stressed words) and
weak beats (the
unstressed words). Intonation is the way
the pitch of a speaker's voice goes up or
down as they speak. We use intonation to
help get our message across.
10. Attitudinal function of
intonation .
Expresses the mood and emotions of a
speaker, their attitude to the certain situation
and also to the listener or other interlocutor.
... A single sentence can be pronounced in a
number of different ways depending on
intonation of the utterance.
