Awareness of intonation aids communication. Incorrect intonation can result in misunderstandings, speakers losing interest or even taking offence! General rules Statements usually have a falling tone at the end. The six question words (who? what? when? where? why? how?) also have a falling tone at the end. Yes/No questions (questions one can answer with “yes” or “no”) usually have a rising tone.,Pronunciation SkillIntonation,Unit 5 Part II Section I,Unit 5 Part II Section I,For example: 1. How did you spend your vacation? (falling tone) 2. I went to Venice with my fianc last summer. (falling tone) 3. Was it your own choice? (rising tone) Yes, indeed. ( falling tone) 4.
