3-Define what is a content word and give two examples.

Content Words :

Are usually nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. A word of content is also known as a lexical word, and it is that word that is responsible for carrying the content or main semantic meaning of a sentence.

• Noun = person, place or thing• Verb = action, state • Adjective = describes an object, person, place or thing • Adverb = tells us how, where or when something happens

Examples: Verb = Believe Adverb = carefully

4-Define what is a function word and give two examples.

Function Words :

Function words are important for understanding as they help connect important information, however they are also known as stop words or grammatical words as these words do not contain significant meaning on their own but do contribute grammatically in a sentence.

Auxiliary verbs = do, be, have (help with conjugation of tense) Prepositions = show relationships in time and space Articles = used to indicate specific or non-specific nouns Conjunctions = words that connect Pronouns = refer to other nouns

Examples: Prepositions: between Pronouns:ours

5-Define falling intonation and write two sentences as examples.

Falling intonation:

Falling intonation refers to a melodic pattern in speech in which the pitch of the voice gradually decreases towards the end of a sentence. In this way, the decrease in tone can indicate a natural pause or give a sense of conclusion or finality to the idea that is being expressed.

Examples:

• I'm going on vacation next week.
• He's coming to the party.

6-Define raising intonation and write two sentences as examples.

Raising Intonation:

Rising intonation refers to a melodic pattern in speech where the pitch of the voice gradually increases towards the end of a sentence. This rise in tone is generally used to indicate a question or to express surprise.

Examples:

• They're getting married? (Expression of surprise)

• You finished all your homework?(Question)
