[@Erika-pq7ip]

what i like about intonation is that it shows our relationship, in a way, to society. its interesting to notice how people speak and make guesses as to why they said that in that tone haha

[@geraldosimoes8875]

its really helpfull..thankyou

[@samehsaleh9841]

Thank you so much we have learned a lot from you and we are appreciated your efforts with us kindly, we need a video regarding negative questions and intonation patterns Thank you again and again

[@BillieEnglish]

Thank you for your lovely comment :-) So, the intonation pattern doesn't really change if the question is negative. For example: Open Questions (falling intonation): Why did you come? (falling) Why didn't you come? (falling) Who is here? (falling) Who isn't here? (falling) Closed Questions (rising intonation): Have you bought the cake? (rising) Haven't you bought the cake? (rising) Are they here? (rising) Aren't they here? (rising) Remember these intonation patterns show grammatical functions (the ones I explain in this video). Of course we can also use intonation to show attitude and emotion (e.g. surprise) which usually uses a rising intonation, so then the patterns might be different. But if the questions are said in a neutral emotion, use the pattern I explain in the video. I hope this helps!

[@Muhammadzahid4972]

Good to watch

[@jsdestinations]

Really helpful ❤

[@poojakundu6158]

[@gopalbhattarai7131]

Excellent Explanation. Could you please tell me the intonation patterns: a) He also explained to us how they change while flying. b) Who knew that a Muslim and Hindu boy could not sit together?

[@yancyliu8758]

Thank you so much

[@shirinxudayberdiyeva6344]

Thank yo so much for your explanation

[@jo-dp2pk]

I have an exam tomorrow and your video helped me so much thank you 😿💓

[@juanhernanventana7135]

Hi, it is a pleasure! Could you please tell me if the negative and positive statements end in the same patterns of falling intonation?

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello! There isn't really one definite rule because it depends on so many other factors: the content, meaning, mood ... That's what makes intonation a little more complicated than grammar where you have strict rules.

[@AdnanKhan-qr2is]

How beautiful you explain all hese things

[@TIENNGUYEN-xj7uf]

Thanks a ton, Billie. I'm learning a lot from you.

[@faysundus5653]

Thank you

[@noraimahacmad8985]

thank you very much maam.

[@vlshwasgatne6161]

Hello ma'am. , Please accept my warm compliments for such an informative & interesting lesson on intonation patterns. The way you speak & present yourself is simple & so clear that even a non - native speakers can easily follow. I had studied that yes or no questions are called verbal questions but for the first time I got to know about closed questions. Wh type questions are called open questions. Great! .Normally tag questions are academically taught but you have taught them practically. Thanks a lot. Every word of yours reflects warmth & desire to educate aspiring fluent speakers. With best wishes. Vishwas Gatne India

[@BillieEnglish]

Oh thank you for this lovely comment! 😊 It really made my day. Creating videos and putting them up on YT is a lot of work and sometimes a bit lonely (very different to teaching in a real face to face class) so it's extra nice to receive such a wonderful comment! It encouraged me a lot to continue with my work. Thank you!! 💛

[@aneeqasahar2930]

Thank you so much mam. You have made my way a lot easier. I have learned a lot from u. Phonetics is my favorite subject 😍😁♥️

[@smitaarora8025]

Hello mam..Isn’t there a falling -rising tone?..The book I am following is mentioning that too......

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello Smit, yes there is! I'm keeping it very simple in this introductory video. I'll post a few more on the topic soon where I go into more detail! 😊

[@Marhabo_Mamurjonova]

Thank you so much, it helped me to prepare for my tomorrow (phonetics)exam. I believe that I'll get high score ☺

Thanks alot ma'am for this video 🙌

[@taniageronatsiou3444]

Question! My teacher gave me a photocopy about the English Intonational Patterns. Everything is the same except the queastion tags. She writes that seeking confirmation=falling intonation and asking for information=rising intonation. Which one is more preferable?

[@sheydaahoupay1059]

You teach very hard and difficult lessons in an easyyyyyyy way as I suddenly say oops guess what I learn all of them in just 20 minutes and there is no need to study a lot of phonetics books.

[@BillieEnglish]

I'm glad to hear that the videos are so helpful Sheyda!

[@heartofmercy1396]

Thank you 🙏🏿

[@estefanycc4512]

Hi Billie. Your content is great. Where are you from? I like your accent.

[@thelmantim4343]

Thanks 😊

[@Ignasg_30]

Hello.Greetings from Argentina.I would like to know about Fall-rise intonation.What is the rule there?

[@BillieEnglish]

A good question! I will consider this for a new video! :-)

[@naseermak4357]

Is there anything like a flat intonation?

[@BillieEnglish]

Yes! You could speak with a flat intonation, which would make you sound bored, uninterested and monotonous. English naturally does not have a flat intonation but instead quite a wide pitch range, so it's important to learn more natural sounding intonation.

[@naseermak4357]

​@@BillieEnglishthank you for the reply

[@RTAV108]

Even the rising intonation is so calm n composed in British English.. That's why an uptalk/upspeak isn't unsettling in your accent, whereas the Californian even normal speech is so unnerving n condescending to bear for even a few seconds.. On top of it, If the nasal sound is thrown in the mix, then it's really a torture.. This is where US and British female speech is at their farthest of each other. I'm also a woman from the other side of the world, so it's not a sexist comment.

[@KingBerkley-nx9vf]

Falling intonation

[@Sanjeevbajaj456]

I know that you are a successful Dip TESOL holder. You are expert in phonology.

[@ShahabRehman-m7x]

Can you tell me that this is the rules of intonation.

[@bhaktathapa263]

Falling in open questions.

[@raimundononatodasilvaprado878]

Boa tarde,terminar mais tarde ok!

[@paultvshow]

Californian girls typically speak with rising intonation, whether it is statements or questions.

[@BillieEnglish]

Yes, very true! It's sometimes also called valley-girl intonation.

[@ana.stey.shen_05]

Thank you very much! I'm a student and this video was a great help for me💝

[@BillieEnglish]

Glad it was helpful! 😊👍

[@shaccooper4828]

Your intonation was different the two times you asked: Where are you from. The first was rising
