Intonation
Meaning of Intonation
It is the rise or fall of the voice in speaking. Intonation helps us to show our feelings or attitude to what we are saying or to what someone else says. There are two main types of introduction in English falling tune and rising tune. The falling tune is often shown by a downward arrow (↘) while the rising tune is shown by an upward arrow (↗)
The Falling Tone
