Stress and intonation

Commands and responses

When you make statements, give commands, or respond to commands, your voice tends to go down at the end. But when you ask some questions, your voice goes up at the end. Remember that the stress mark (ˈ) is used to show which part of a sentence is stressed.

In this lesson, the sign ↘is used to show that your voice goes down at the end of statements, commands, and responses to commands, while the sign ➚shows that your voice goes up at the end of questions.

The way your voice goes up and down when you speak is known as intonation.
