Content word

Content words are usually nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. A noun tells us which object, a verb tells us about the action happening, or the state. Adjectives give us details about objects and people and adverbs tell us how, when or where something is done. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs give us important information required for understanding.

Function Word

Function words help us connect important information. Function words are important for understanding, but they add little meaning beyond defining the relationship between two words. Function words include auxiliary verbs, prepositions, articles, conjunctions, and pronouns. Auxiliary verbs are used to establish the tense, prepositions show relationships in time and space, articles show us something that is specific or one of many, and pronouns refer to other nouns.

Examples:

Riding Intonation

- The pitch of the voice rises at the end of the sentence - Rising intonation invites the speaker to continue talking - It is normally used with yes/no questions, and question tags that are real question - It is also used when we express doubt and need confirmation

Do you like your new teacher? Have you finished already?

Falling intonation

- The pitch of the voice falls at the end of the sentence - Falling intonation is the most common intonation pattern in English - It is commonly found in statements, commands, wh-questions (information questions), confirmatory question tags, and exclamations.
