Falling Intonation

Lower your voice at the end of the sentence to produce a “falling intonation.” This intonation is used for a variety of reasons.

Statements

Falling intonation is used in simple sentences that are not questions. For example:

1.    My name is John.

2.    It’s  nice to meet you.

3.    Have a nice day.

4.    I´m going outside.

5.    I´ll be back in a minute.

Questions

Falling intonation is also used when asking questions if they contain interrogative words such as where, what, why, when, how, and who. For example:

1.    What´s his name?

2.    Why did you leave?

3.    Where are you going?
