Quiz worksheet focusing on intonation patterns in English sentences.

Let's solve this quiz step by step, focusing on intonation patterns in English. Intonation refers to the rise and fall of the voice when speaking, which helps convey meaning, especially in questions and statements.

A. Determine the Intonation

We will analyze each sentence and determine whether it has:
- ↑ = Rising intonation (used in yes/no questions, tag questions with expectation of agreement, or open-ended questions)
- ↓ = Falling intonation (used in statements, wh-questions, commands, or tag questions expecting confirmation)
- ↑↓ = Rising and falling intonation (often used in questions that expect a short answer or are rhetorical)

---

#### 1. Where do you live?
- This is a wh-question, so it typically ends with a falling intonation.
- ✔ ↓

#### 2. Do your assignment.
- This is an imperative (command) — a statement.
- ✔ ↓

#### 3. Make sentences about subject-verb agreement.
- Another command/imperative.
- ✔ ↓

#### 4. What time is it?
- A wh-question — usually falls at the end.
- ✔ ↓

#### 5. The moon goes round the earth, doesn't it?
- This is a tag question where the speaker expects agreement.
- The main clause is a statement (falling), but the tag "doesn't it?" often uses rising intonation for confirmation.
- However, if the speaker is confident, it can be falling. But in general, tag questions like this use rising intonation.
- ✔ ↑

#### 6. How does an elephant sleep?
- Wh-question → falling intonation.
- ✔ ↓

#### 7. What did you learn from your field trip?
- Wh-question → falling.
- ✔ ↓

#### 8. The earth is bigger than the moon, isn't it?
- Tag question — similar to #5. Expecting agreement → rising intonation.
- ✔ ↑

#### 9. Are you afraid of the ghost?
- Yes/no question → rising intonation.
- ✔ ↑

#### 10. Stop playing games with kids.
- Imperative/command → falling.
- ✔ ↓

#### 11. How was the earth formed?
- Wh-question → falling.
- ✔ ↓

#### 12. Is Chin-Chin coming with us?
- Yes/no question → rising.
- ✔ ↑

#### 13. Serve the dinner now.
- Command → falling.
- ✔ ↓

#### 14. Go the market alone.
- Imperative → falling.
- ✔ ↓

> Note: "Go to the market" would be more natural, but assuming typo.

#### 15. Should we pray before meals?
- Yes/no question → rising.
- ✔ ↑

#### 16. Do you think that’s a good idea?
- Yes/no question → rising.
- ✔ ↑

#### 17. Have you lived here a long time?
- Yes/no question → rising.
- ✔ ↑

#### 18. Why is the rice terraces called the stairway to heaven?
- Wh-question → falling.
- ✔ ↓

#### 19. We are having good time right?
- Tag question: "right?" implies seeking confirmation.
- The tone rises on "right?" → rising.
- ✔ ↑

> Note: “good time” should be “a good time,” but we’ll ignore grammar for intonation.

#### 20. You understand your role, don’t you?
- Tag question with negative tag — speaker expects agreement.
- So, rising intonation on the tag.
- ✔ ↑

✔ Explanation:

- Rising intonation (↑) is used in:
- Yes/no questions (e.g., *Are you...?*)
- Tag questions expecting confirmation (e.g., *You understand, don’t you?*)
- Questions where the speaker seeks information or confirmation

- Falling intonation (↓) is used in:
- Statements
- Wh-questions (e.g., *Where…?*, *Why…?*)
- Commands/Imperatives
- Expressions of completion or certainty

- Rising-falling (↑↓) is rare here, but might appear in longer rhetorical questions or emphasis. Not needed in this quiz.
