Intonation

When you speak, your voice goes up and down. This is what we call Intonation.

Exercise:

Read the sentence below. When “up” try to make your voice go higher and higher. When you read word “down” try to make your voice go lower and lower.

When we speak, our voice goes up and down. This is what we call Intonation.

- Most of the time, when we ask questions, our voice goes up. This when the answer to our question is either “yes” or “no.” but when the question is not answered by “yes” or “no,” the voice does not go up.

When we answer the question, our voice goes down or stay the same.
